bpf_program__set_log_buf() intends to reject log buffer sizes larger
than UINT_MAX.

However, the function checks the existing prog->log_size instead of
the incoming log_size argument. As a result, an oversized value can
be accepted.

Validate the supplied log_size instead.

Add a regression test that verifies that values larger than UINT_MAX
are rejected with -EINVAL on platforms where size_t can represent
such values.
