Subject: [PATCH 4.9 42/60] proc: Avoid mixing integer types in mem_rw()

From: Marcelo Henrique Cerri <marcelo.cerri@...onical.com>

[ Upstream commit d238692b4b9f2c36e35af4c6e6f6da36184aeb3e ]

Use size_t when capping the count argument received by mem_rw(). Since
count is size_t, using min_t(int, ...) can lead to a negative value
that will later be passed to access_remote_vm(), which can cause
unexpected behavior.

Since we are capping the value to at maximum PAGE_SIZE, the conversion
from size_t to int when passing it to access_remote_vm() as "len"
shouldn't be a problem.
