Subject: [PATCH 4.18 27/53] net/smc: fix sizeof to int comparison

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

[ Upstream commit 381897798a94065ffcad0772eecdc6b04a7ff23d ]

Comparing an int to a size, which is unsigned, causes the int to become
unsigned, giving the wrong result. kernel_sendmsg can return a negative
error code.
