Subject: [PATCH 4.14 44/79] perf jevents: Fix getting maximum number of fds

From: Felix Fietkau <nbd@....name>

commit 75ea44e356b5de8c817f821c9dd68ae329e82add upstream.

On some hosts, rlim.rlim_max can be returned as RLIM_INFINITY.
By casting it to int, it is interpreted as -1, which will cause get_maxfds
to return 0, causing "Invalid argument" errors in nftw() calls.
Fix this by casting the second argument of min() to rlim_t instead.

Fixes: 80eeb67fe577 ("perf jevents: Program to convert JSON file")
