Subject: [PATCH 3.13 21/32] ext4: fix error return from ext4_ext_handle_uninitialized_extents()

3.13-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Whitney <enwlinux@...il.com>

commit ce37c42919608e96ade3748fe23c3062a0a966c5 upstream.

Commit 3779473246 breaks the return of error codes from
ext4_ext_handle_uninitialized_extents() in ext4_ext_map_blocks().  A
portion of the patch assigns that function's signed integer return
value to an unsigned int.  Consequently, negatively valued error codes
are lost and can be treated as a bogus allocated block count.
