Subject: [PATCH 3.16 328/328] cdrom: fix improper type cast, which can
 leat to information leak.

3.16.62-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Young_X <YangX92@...mail.com>

commit e4f3aa2e1e67bb48dfbaaf1cad59013d5a5bc276 upstream.

There is another cast from unsigned long to int which causes
a bounds check to fail with specially crafted input. The value is
then used as an index in the slot array in cdrom_slot_status().

This issue is similar to CVE-2018-16658 and CVE-2018-10940.
