If no overflow occurs, check_shl_overflow() stores the result in the
memory location the third argument points at. So the above expression
can be simplified into the following:

if (check_shl_overflow(max_sectors, SECTOR_SHIFT, &limits->bio_max_bytes)) {
limits->bio_max_bytes = UINT_MAX;
}

Please don't worry about this. Inlining bio_max_size() is not a big
concern to me.

Thanks,
