vfs: change sb->s_maxbytes to a loff_t
sb->s_maxbytes is supposed to indicate the maximum size of a file that can exist on the filesystem. It's declared as an unsigned long long. Even if a filesystem has no inherent limit that prevents it from using every bit in that unsigned long long, it's still problematic to set it to anything larger than MAX_LFS_FILESIZE. There are places in the kernel that cast s_maxbytes to a signed value. If it's set too large then this cast makes it a negative number and generally breaks the comparison. Change s_maxbytes to be loff_t instead. That should help eliminate the temptation to set it too large by making it a signed value. Also, add a warning for couple of releases to help catch filesystems that set s_maxbytes too large. Eventually we can either convert this to a BUG() or just remove it and in the hope that no one will get it wrong now that it's a signed value.
