Subject: [34-longterm 081/196] proc: do proper range check on readdir offset

From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...ux-foundation.org>

                   -------------------
    This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release.
    If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.
                   -------------------

commit d8bdc59f215e62098bc5b4256fd9928bf27053a1 upstream.

Rather than pass in some random truncated offset to the pid-related
functions, check that the offset is in range up-front.

This is just cleanup, the previous commit fixed the real problem.
