In an effort to avoid open-coded arithmetic in the kernel, use the

We have u64 type conversion here while struct_size used type 'size_t'. So we won't have problems for 64bit system. But for 32bit system, we may
have a slight different behavior here as the current code can return a
u64 value and the struct_size(...) returns a size_t type value with max value SIZE_MAX.

In __bpf_map_area_alloc() we have a check:
if (size >= SIZE_MAX)
return NULL;
so we should be fine for 32bit system.
