Subject: [PATCH 44/44] net/mptcp: Change some dubious min_t(int, ...) to min()

From: David Laight <david.laight.linux@...il.com>

There are two:
	min_t(int, xxx, mptcp_wnd_end(msk) - msk->snd_nxt);
Both mptcp_wnd_end(msk) and msk->snd_nxt are u64, their difference
(aka the window size) might be limited to 32 bits - but that isn't
knowable from this code.
So checks being added to min_t() detect the potential discard of
significant bits.

Provided the 'avail_size' and return of mptcp_check_allowed_size()
are changed to an unsigned type (size_t matches the type the caller
uses) both min_t() can be changed to min().
