[patch] module: static checker complains about negative values

We cap "stat.size" at INT_MAX but we don't check for negative values so
my static checker complains. At this point, you already have control of
the kernel and if you start passing negative values here then you
deserve what happens next.

On 64 bit systems the vmalloc() will definitely fail. On 32 bit systems
we truncate the upper 32 bits away so that could succeed. I haven't
followed it further than that.
