Calling '__v9fs_get_acl' method in 'v9fs_get_acl' creates the
following chain of function calls:

__v9fs_get_acl
v9fs_fid_get_acl
v9fs_fid_xattr_get
p9_client_xattrwalk

Function p9_client_xattrwalk accepts a pointer to u64-typed
variable attr_size and puts some u64 value into it. However,
after the executing the p9_client_xattrwalk, in some circumstances
we assign the value of u64-typed variable 'attr_size' to the
variable 'retval', which we will return. However, the type of
'retval' is ssize_t, and if the value of attr_size is larger
than SSIZE_MAX, we will face the signed type overflow. If the
overflow occurs, the result of v9fs_fid_xattr_get may be
negative, but not classified as an error. When we try to allocate
an acl with 'broken' size we receive an error, but don't process
it. When we try to free this acl, we face the 'wild-memory-access'
error (because it wasn't allocated).

This patch will add new condition to the 'v9fs_fid_xattr_get'
function, so it will return an EOVERFLOW error if the 'attr_size'
is larger than SSIZE_MAX.

In this version of the patch I removed explicit type conversion and
added separate condition to check the possible overflow and return
an error (in v1 version I've just modified the existing condition).
