lib: Prevent unintended sign extensions

In the last argument to sbi_memset() we essentially have the following
multiplication:

    size_t = u16 * u16

Due to C's integer semantics, both u16's are implicitly converted to int
before the multiplication, which cannot hold all possible values of a
u16 * u16. If the multiplication overflows, the intermediate result will
be a negative number. On 64-bit platforms, this will be sign-extended to
a huge integer in the conversion to a u64 (aka size_t). Being the size
argument to sbi_memset(), this could potentially cause a large
out-of-bounds write. The solution is to manually cast one of the u16 to
a size_t, which will make it large enough to avoid the implicit
conversion and any overflow.
