hfsplus: refuse to mount volumes larger than 2TB
As found in <http://bugs.debian.org/550010>, hfsplus is using type u32
rather than sector_t for some sector number calculations.
In particular, hfsplus_get_block() does:
u32 ablock, dblock, mask;
...
map_bh(bh_result, sb, (dblock << HFSPLUS_SB(sb).fs_shift) + HFSPLUS_SB(sb).blockoffset + (iblock & mask));
I am not confident that I can find and fix all cases where a sector number
may be truncated. For now, avoid data loss by refusing to mount HFS+
volumes with more than 2^32 sectors (2TB).
