A Coverity robot reported an integer handling issue
(OVERFLOW_BEFORE_WIDEN) in the potentially overflowing expression:
(mtd_div_by_ws(mtd->size, mtd) - mtd_div_by_ws(offs, mtd)) *
mtd_oobavail(mtd, ops)
While such overflow will certainly never happen due to the numbers
handled, it is cleaner to fix this operation anyway.
The problem is that all the maths include 32-bit quantities, while the
result is stored in an explicit 64-bit value.
As maxooblen will just be compared with a size_t, let's change the
type of the variable to a size_t. This will not fix anything but will
clarify a bit the situation. Then, do an explicit cast to fix Coverity
warning.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
