[PATCH 5/6 v2] check for overflow

Adds a check for an overflow in the filesystem size so if someone is
checking with statfs() on a 16G hugetlbfs  in a 32bit binary that it
will report back EOVERFLOW instead of a size of 0.

Are other places that need a similar check?  I had tried a similar
check in put_compat_statfs64 too but it didn't seem to generate an
EOVERFLOW in my test case.
