nvme: core: reject invalid LBA data size from Identify Namespace

nvme_update_ns_info_block() trusts id->lbaf[lbaf].ds from the
controller and assigns it directly to ns->head->lba_shift without
bounds checking.  nvme_lba_to_sect() then does:

    return lba << (head->lba_shift - SECTOR_SHIFT);

When called with lba = le64_to_cpu(id->nsze) to compute the device
capacity, an attacker-controlled controller can choose ds < 9 or a
combination of (ds, nsze) that makes the left shift overflow
sector_t.  The former is a C undefined behaviour that UBSAN reports
as a BUG; the latter silently yields a bogus capacity that the
block layer then trusts for bounds checking.

Validate ds against SECTOR_SHIFT and use check_shl_overflow() to
compute capacity so that any (ds, nsze) combination that would
overflow sector_t is rejected.  The namespace is skipped with
-ENODEV instead of crashing the kernel.  This is reachable by a
malicious NVMe device, a buggy firmware, or an attacker-controlled
NVMe-oF target.

The check is performed before queue_limits_start_update() and
blk_mq_freeze_queue(), so the error path is a plain `goto out` with
no cleanup needed.
