Huh, what the heck is that ;)


include/linux/overflow.h has check_mul_overflow() for us to use here.


tools/lib/bpf/libbpf_internal.h uses

	#if __has_builtin(__builtin_mul_overflow)

but check_mul_overflow() didn't bother testing for availability. 
Probably tools/lib/bpf/libbpf_internal.h should just use
check_mul_overflow().
