Subject: [PATCH 4.14 01/44] scsi: sd_zbc: Fix variable type and bogus comment

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

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

From: Damien Le Moal <damien.lemoal@....com>

commit f13cff6c25bd8986627365346d123312ee7baa78 upstream.

Fix the description of sd_zbc_check_zone_size() to correctly explain that
the returned value is a number of device blocks, not bytes.  Additionally,
the 32 bits "ret" variable used in this function may truncate the 64 bits
zone_blocks variable value upon return. To fix this, change "ret" type to
s64.

Fixes: ccce20fc79 ("sd_zbc: Avoid that resetting a zone fails sporadically")
