Crud, I should have noticed this earlier.  This has a problem, min_t(int)
means user supplied < 0 is a large copy_to_user (back to leaking memory
on arch's that don't protect < 0 copy_to_user like i386 does).  Here's
a simple fix ontop of yoshifuji's two changes.  Hope that's it ;-)

thanks,

Subject: [IPV6] fix ipv6_getsockopt_sticky copy_to_user leak

User supplied len < 0 can cause leak of kernel memory.
Use unsigned compare instead.
