[lvc-project] [PATCH v2] vfio/mlx5: fix possible overflow in tracking max message size

MLX cap pg_track_log_max_msg_size consists of 5 bits, value of which is
used as power of 2 for max_msg_size. This can lead to multiplication
overflow between max_msg_size (u32) and integer constant, and afterwards
incorrect value is being written to rq_size.

Fix this issue by extending integer constant to u64 type.
