This does not really fix anything, it's compile time prevention, so I
don't know how appropriate this is for stable (it was also picked for
5.5 and 5.6, but I'm just replying here now, I can ping the other
selections if necessary if the patch should be dropped)?

Also, for 5.4, it does somewhat depend on commit 8788994376d8
("linux/build_bug.h: change type to int"). Without it, there may be a
subtle integer promotion issue if sizeof(size_t) > sizeof(unsigned long)
(I don't *think* such platform exists, but I don't have a warm a fuzzy
feeling about it).
