UDMABUF_CREATE_LIST copies a variable-length list using a byte count
derived from head.count. The list_limit module parameter is signed and
writable, so setting it negative lets a large unsigned count bypass the
limit check. The u32 byte-count calculation can then wrap, causing only
a small list to be copied while udmabuf_create() still iterates over the
large count.
Reject negative list_limit values and use checked size_t multiplication
before copying the list.
