Change num_ghes from int to unsigned int, preventing an overflow
and causing subsequent vmalloc to fail.
The overflow happens in the ghes_estatus_pool_init() when calculating
len during execution of the statement below as both multiplication
operands here are signed int :
len += (num_ghes * GHES_ESOURCE_PREALLOC_MAX_SIZE);
The following call trace is observed because of this bug:
[ 9.317108] swapper/0: vmalloc error: size 18446744071562596352, exceeds total pages, mode:0xcc0(GFP_KERNEL), nodemask=(null),cpuset=/,mems_allowed=0-1
