Hmmm... Shouldn't that be a prep patch with a fixes tag for backport ?
Because that "fix" here is not done directly but is the result of calling
bio_submit_split_bioset().

Can this ever be negative (of course not I think)? But if
bio_submit_split_bioset() is changed to have an unsigned int sectors count,
maybe add a sanity check before calling bio_submit_split_bioset() ?
