[ Upstream commit 43deb76b19663a96ec2189d8f4eb9a9dc2d7623f ]
The default aux_watermark is half the AUX area buffer size. In general, on a 64-bit architecture, the AUX area buffer size could be a bigger than fits in a 32-bit type, but the calculation does not allow for that possibility.
However the aux_watermark value is recorded in a u32, so should not be more than U32_MAX either.
Fix by doing the calculation in a correctly sized type, and limiting the result to U32_MAX.
