Subject: [PATCH][next] net/sunrpc: fix unsigned size_t comparison to less than zero

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

Currently the check for *lenp < 0 is always true since the type is a size_t
and can never be negative. Fix this by casting it to ssize_t.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Unsigned compared against 0")
Fixes: c09f56b8f68d ("net/sunrpc: Fix return value for sysctl sunrpc.transports")
