file_size is uint32_t, so j < file_size should be
uint32_t too.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

Fixes: 7ef295ea5b ("loader: Add data swap option to load-elf")

file_size is of elf_word type, which is either uint32_t
or uint64_t.

Your explanation is not very clear... Maybe you want an unsigned type?
In that case, does the following makes your sanitizer happier?

Since file_size is type 'elf_word', the iterator 'j' should
be the matching type. In practice nobody is loading 2GB ELF
files, so we don't really run into this, but it is a bug.

I agree with Philippe that it would be helpful if the
commit message:
 * is clear about the problem it is fixing
 * describes whether there are any real-world consequences
   of the issue and how severe (or not) they are

thanks
