x86/pkeys: Add check for pkey "overflow"
Alex Shi reported the pkey macros above arch_set_user_pkey_access() to be unused. They are unused, and even refer to a nonexistent CONFIG option. But, they might have served a good use, which was to ensure that the code does not try to set values that would not fit in the PKRU register. As it stands, a too-large 'pkey' value would be likely to silently overflow the u32 new_pkru_bits. Add a check to look for overflows. Also add a comment to remind any future developer to closely examine the types used to store pkey values if arch_max_pkey() ever changes. This boots and passes the x86 pkey selftests.
