[PATCH v2 0/2] xen/gntalloc: validate grant count before allocation

[Yousef Alhouseen]

The allocation ioctl currently allocates a user-sized grant-id array
before checking the global grant limit.  It also adds the requested count
when enforcing that limit, which makes the check harder to reason about
in the presence of mixed signed and unsigned types.

Make the grant counters unsigned first, then reject impossible requests
before allocation and use subtraction for the locked limit check.

Changes in v2:
- Split the unsigned type changes into a prerequisite patch.
- Remove the signed checks and unnecessary casts.
