[lvc-project] [PATCH] fs/jfs: prevent potential integer overflow in dbMapFileSizeToMapSize

In dbMapFileSizeToMapSize(), the calculation involving 'complete' and
'LPERCTL' can result in a 32-bit integer overflow when handling large
filesystems. Specifically, multiplying 'complete' by LPERCTL * LPERCTL
(1,048,576) can exceed the 32-bit integer limit if 'complete' is greater
than approximately 2,047.

While there is no evidence that 'complete' can exceed this threshold,
theoretically, this is possible. To ensure robustness and maintainability,
this patch casts only 'complete' to s64 (64-bit integer) before performing
the multiplication. This guarantees that the arithmetic is conducted in
64-bit space, accommodating larger values without overflow.

This change enhances the reliability of the JFS filesystem when managing
large volumes and preemptively addresses potential overflow issues.
