The existing overflow checks in zcrypt_msgtype6.c in function
xcrb_msg_to_type6cprb_msgx() and xcrb_msg_to_type6_ep11cprb_msgx() had
several security weaknesses:

1. The CEIL4() macro used for overflow detection has itself an
   overflow problem.
2. Post-calculation overflow detection could allow undefined behavior
   to occur before the check was performed.
2. Missing overflow checks on message length calculations created
   potential buffer overflow vulnerabilities.
3. Use of signed integer types for size calculations risked signed
   integer overflow undefined behavior.

The patch improves this by:

- Implementing overflow detection before the CEIL4() macro is used via
  kernel function check_add_overflow().
- Adding explicit overflow checks for all message length calculations
  to eliminate buffer overflow risks.
- Converting size variables from signed to unsigned types and thus
  prevents from signed overflow.
- Improving code readability by replacing complex ternary operators
  with clear if-else structures.

s390/zcrypt: Improve length check and overflow detection at zcrypt msg type 6

This commit replaces manual overflow checks with check_add_overflow() and
changes some variable types to unsigned. It also aims to prevent buffer
overflow risks by improving message length calculations.

[Severity: Critical]
Does removing the check against ap_msg->bufsize allow an arbitrarily large
length to bypass validation?

If u is successfully calculated without integer overflow but is larger than
ap_msg->bufsize, it appears the subsequent calls to z_copy_from_user() could
write out of bounds into the ap_msg->msg heap buffer:

drivers/s390/crypto/zcrypt_msgtype6.c:xcrb_msg_to_type6cprb_msgx() {
	...
	/* prepare CPRB */
	if (z_copy_from_user(userspace, msg->userdata,
			     xcrb->request_control_blk_addr,
			     xcrb->request_control_blk_length))
		return -EFAULT;
	...
	/* copy data block */
	if (xcrb->request_data_length) {
		req_data = ap_msg->msg + sizeof(struct type6_hdr) + req_cblen;
		if (z_copy_from_user(userspace, req_data,
				     xcrb->request_data_address,
				     xcrb->request_data_length))
			return -EFAULT;
	}
}
