On 32bit PAE kernels on 64bit hardware with enough physical bits,
l1tf_pfn_limit() will overflow unsigned long. This in turn affects
max_swapfile_size() and can lead to swapon returning -EINVAL. This has been
observed in a 32bit guest with 42 bits physical address size, where
max_swapfile_size() overflows exactly to 1 << 32, thus zero, and produces
the following warning to dmesg:
[ 6.396845] Truncating oversized swap area, only using 0k out of 2047996k
Fix this by using unsigned long long instead.
Fixes: 17dbca119312 ("x86/speculation/l1tf: Add sysfs reporting for l1tf")
Fixes: 377eeaa8e11f ("x86/speculation/l1tf: Limit swap file size to MAX_PA/2")
