KVM: guest_memfd: Treat memslot binding offset+size as unsigned values
When binding a memslot to a guest_memfd file, treat the offset and size as unsigned values to fix a bug where the sum of the two can result in a false negative when checking for overflow against the size of the file. Passing unsigned values also avoids relying on somewhat obscure checks in other flows for safety, and tracks the offset and size as they are intended to be tracked, as unsigned values.
On 64-bit kernels, the number of pages a memslot contains and thus the size (and offset) of its guest_memfd binding are unsigned 64-bit values. Taking the offset+size as an loff_t instead of a uoff_t inadvertently converts the unsigned value to a signed value if the offset and/or size is massive.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) component. An integer overflow vulnerability exists in the `guest_memfd` functionality when binding memory slots. A malicious guest operating system could exploit this by providing crafted offset and size values, leading to incorrect memory access. This could result in memory corruption, potentially allowing the guest to escalate privileges, cause a denial of service, or compromise the host system.
