Subject: [PATCH] cifs: fix integer overflow in match_server()

The echo_interval is not limited in any way during mounting, which makes it possible to write a large number to it. This can cause an overflow when multiplying ctx->echo_interval by HZ in match_server().

Add constraints for echo_interval to smb3_fs_context_parse_param().

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Svace.
