dm bufio: fix integer overflow when limiting maximum cache size
The default max_cache_size_bytes for dm-bufio is meant to be the lesser of 25% of the size of the vmalloc area and 2% of the size of lowmem. However, on 32-bit systems the intermediate result in the expression (VMALLOC_END - VMALLOC_START) * DM_BUFIO_VMALLOC_PERCENT / 100 overflows, causing the wrong result to be computed. For example, on a 32-bit system where the vmalloc area is 520093696 bytes, the result is 1174405 rather than the expected 130023424, which makes the maximum cache size much too small (far less than 2% of lowmem). This causes severe performance problems for dm-verity users on affected systems. Fix this by using mult_frac() to correctly multiply by a percentage. Do this for all places in dm-bufio that multiply by a percentage. Also replace (VMALLOC_END - VMALLOC_START) with VMALLOC_TOTAL, which contrary to the comment is now defined in include/linux/vmalloc.h.
