Overflow/crash in `tf.image.resize` when size is large

Impact

If tf.image.resize is called with a large input argument then the TensorFlow process will crash due to a CHECK-failure caused by an overflow.

import tensorflow as tf
import numpy as np

tf.keras.layers.UpSampling2D(
  size=1610637938,
  data_format='channels_first',
  interpolation='bilinear')(np.ones((5,1,1,1)))

The number of elements in the output tensor is too much for the int64_t type and the overflow is detected via a CHECK statement. This aborts the process.

Patches

We have patched the issue in GitHub commit e5272d4204ff5b46136a1ef1204fc00597e21837 (merging #51497).

The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.7.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.6.1, TensorFlow 2.5.2, and TensorFlow 2.4.4, as these are also affected and still in supported range.
