vfio/qat: fix overflow check in qat_vf_resume_write()

commit 9283b7392570421c22a6c8058614f5b76a46b81c upstream.

The unsigned variable `size_t len` is cast to the signed type `loff_t`
when passed to the function check_add_overflow(). This function considers
the type of the destination, which is of type loff_t (signed),
potentially leading to an overflow. This issue is similar to the one
described in the link below.

Remove the cast.

Note that even if check_add_overflow() is bypassed, by setting `len` to
a value that is greater than LONG_MAX (which is considered as a negative
value after the cast), the function copy_from_user(), invoked a few lines
later, will not perform any copy and return `len` as (len > INT_MAX)
causing qat_vf_resume_write() to fail with -EFAULT.
