[PATCH] md: Handle overflow of mdu_array_info_t->size better 

mdu_array_info_t->size is 'int', which isn't big enough for the size (in KB of
each component in) some arrays.

So rather than a random overflow, set size to -1 when it cannot be set
correctly.

To update aspect on an array, userspace will sometimes:
  get_array_info
  change one field
  set_array_info

in this case, we don't want the '-1' in 'size' to change to size, or look like
a size change at all.  So test for that in update_array_info.
