[GIT PULL] hardening updates for v6.19-rc1

[Kees Cook]

Hi Linus,

Please pull these handful of hardening updates for v6.19-rc1. The
random driver fixes are to correct some accidentally wrong types used in
allocations (that didn't affect the resulting size) that never got
picked up from the batch I sent a few months ago. The Makefile change is
to enable better GCC diagnostics for the value range tracking, so we can
get better visibility into where those values are coming from when we
get out-of-bounds warnings at compile time.

Thanks!
