Pull bootconfig fixes from Masami Hiramatsu:
 "Fix integer overflow and truncation in size checks.

   - Fix size check bypasses caused by integer overflow and truncation
     when parsing initrd or standalone bootconfig files, preventing
     buffer overflow and out-of-bounds writes in the userspace tool.

   - Fix pointer arithmetic wrap-around in get_boot_config_from_initrd()
     when handling crafted huge size values, preventing fatal kernel
     page faults during early boot"
