A large bytes parameter to pvalloc could cause an integer overflow
and corrupt allocator internals. Check the overflow does not occur
before continuing with the allocation.

ChangeLog:

	[BZ #15855]
	* malloc/malloc.c (__libc_pvalloc): Check the value of bytes
	does not overflow.

Spaces between operator and operands.  Looks OK to me with that change.
