lib/buildid: reject file offsets that do not fit in pgoff_t

On a 32-bit kernel, parsing the build ID of a crafted ELF file can copy
far more than the intended bytes into a 64-byte on-stack buffer in
__build_id_parse(), corrupting the stack of whatever context fetches the
build ID.  This might be reachable without privilege: perf records a build ID
for PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 on the no-fault path when a process mmaps its own file
(build_id_parse_nofault() from perf_event_mmap()), and BPF build-id stack
maps do the same.

freader_get_folio() turns a 64-bit file offset into a page cache index
with file_off >> PAGE_SHIFT and passes it to filemap_get_folio().
pgoff_t is unsigned long, 32-bit on a 32-bit kernel, so an ELF64 e_phoff
of 2^44 + k * PAGE_SIZE truncates to index k.  filemap_get_folio()
returns the cached folio at index k, whose folio_pos() is far below the
requested file_off.  In freader_fetch() the folio does not contain
file_off, so the "crossing folio boundaries" path computes
part_sz = folio_off + folio_sz - file_off as a large u64 (file_off is
much larger), and the following memcpy() truncates it to size_t and
copies a page into the 64-byte buffer.  On a 64-bit kernel the index is
not truncated, the folio is not cached and the fetch returns -EFAULT, so
only 32-bit kernels are affected.

Reject a file offset that cannot be represented as a page cache index
before the lookup, so such a file fails the build ID parse cleanly as it
already does on 64-bit.

Reproduced on i386 under QEMU with CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG: mmapping
a crafted ELF (ELFCLASS64, e_phoff = 2^44) while a perf event with
attr.build_id is open panics with "stack-protector: Kernel stack is
corrupted in: __build_id_parse"; with this patch the parse returns
-EFAULT and the mmap completes cleanly.  Built for i386 with W=1, no new
warnings.
