[PATCH v4 1/3] KEYS: Expand key->{datalen,quotalen} to unsigned int

In key_alloc() and key_payload_reserve(), key->quotalen and key->datalen
can receive values larger than USHRT_MAX.
Example:
keyctl new_session >/dev/null
owner=$(keyctl newring owner @s)
keeper=$(keyctl newring keeper @s)
for ((i=0; i<16384; i++)); do
key=$(keyctl add user "k$i" x "$keeper")
keyctl link "$key" "$owner"
done
awk -v uid="$(id -u):" '$1 == uid {print $NF}' /proc/key-users
keyctl clear "$owner"
awk -v uid="$(id -u):" '$1 == uid {print $NF}' /proc/key-users
Because key->datalen wraps around 65535, the quota refunded upon clearing
is truncated, causing quota bytes to leak in /proc/key-users.
Change the types of key->datalen and key->quotalen from unsigned short to
unsigned int so that they can carry the full payload length without
truncation.
