I am not sure, can off_t be bigger than loff_t ?

I don't think so, at least not in any possible situation we care about
here.
We have this checking for ages:
if (f.l_start > COMPAT_LOFF_T_MAX)
ret = -EOVERFLOW;

If not, we have just skip checking against COMPAT_LOFF_T_MAX.

Ok. If you have a test for this, mind testing and sending a patch?
I think if COMPAT_LOFF_T_MAX is exists, that value can be smaller than can fit in off_t.
Checking against COMPAT_LOFF_T_MAX keep old logic works for me last 10 years.

I have some tests around wine project I worked on. May be later I will do additional tests.
