A HID descriptor can make both logical range subtractions overflow
signed 32-bit arithmetic. On x86, the resulting INT_MIN / -1
operation can raise a divide exception and crash the kernel.
Promote the operands before subtraction, use the signed 64-bit
division helper, and check the remaining multiply and add operations
for overflow. Fall back to the default multiplier when the descriptor
cannot be represented safely.
Fixes: 5a4abb36f312 ("HID: core: process the Resolution Multiplier")
