I never suggested eliminating the wraparound check, only simplifying the
overflow check.  You could combine the wraparound and overflow into one:

if (sec_start + sec_count < sec_count ||
    sec_start > (INT64_MAX >> BDRV_SECTOR_BITS) - sec_count) {
    return false;
}

Remember, sec_start and sec_count were both typed as unsigned 64-bit
values, so everything in the above computation is well-defined
arithmetic, and you catch all cases of trying to add two numbers into
something that doesn't fit in 64 bits, as well as all cases of the
addition fitting in 64 bits but going beyond the maximum possible sector
number (since it is not possible to have a sector number whose
corresponding offset would exceed 63 bits).
