From: Ruide Cao <caoruide123@gmail.com>
newary() checks namespace-wide semaphore usage before creating a new
array, but the current accounting uses a plain signed addition.
If the accumulated semaphore count overflows, the limit check can fail
open and allow allocations past sc_semmns, breaking namespace semaphore
resource enforcement and potentially leading to resource exhaustion.
Fix this by using check_add_overflow() before comparing the new total
against sc_semmns, and reject overflow the same way as a true limit
exceed.
Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
