squashfs: Fix integer overflow in sqfs_resolve_symlink()

A carefully crafted squashfs filesystem can exhibit an inode size of 0xffffffff,
as a consequence malloc() will do a zero allocation.
Later in the function the inode size is again used for copying data.
So an attacker can overwrite memory.
Avoid the overflow by using the __builtin_add_overflow() helper.
