[PATCH v2 05/11] packet: Correct type of PACKET_MAX_LEN

[David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>]

PACKET_MAX_LEN is usually involved in calculations on size_t values - the
type of the iov_len field in struct iovec.  However, being defined bare as
UINT16_MAX, the compiled is likely to assign it a shorter type.  This can
lead to unexpected promotions (or lack thereof).  Add a cast to force the
type to be what we expect.

Fixes: c43972ad6 ("packet: Give explicit name to maximum packet size")
