[PATCH bpf] bpf, sockmap: fix integer overflow in bpf_msg_pop_data() bounds check

[PATCH bpf] bpf, sockmap: fix integer overflow in bpf_msg_pop_data() bounds check

[Sechang Lim]

start and len are u32, so

	u64 last = start + len;

evaluates start + len in 32-bit and wraps before storing it in last.
The bounds check

	if (start >= offset + l || last > msg->sg.size)
		return -EINVAL;

can then be passed with an out-of-range start/len, after which the pop
loop runs off the end of the scatterlist and sk_msg_shift_left() calls
put_page() on the empty msg->sg.end slot:

If you have a reproducer, please consider adding a selftest either
together this patch or as a follow-up.
