[patch 2/2 v2] staging: lustre: integer overflow in obd_ioctl_is_invalid()

The obd_ioctl_getdata() function caps "data->ioc_len" at
OBD_MAX_IOCTL_BUFFER and then calls this obd_ioctl_is_invalid() to check
that the other values inside data are valid.

There are several lengths inside data but when they are added together
they must not be larger than "data->ioc_len".  The checks against
"(data->ioc_inllen1 > (1<<30))" are supposed to ensure that the addition
does not have an integer overflow.  But "(1<<30) * 4" actually can
overflow 32 bits, so the checks are insufficient.

I have changed it to "> OBD_MAX_IOCTL_BUFFER" instead.
