[ Upstream commit 045ed31e23aea840648c290dbde04797064960db ]
The kfifo_to_user() macro is supposed to return zero for success or negative error codes. Unfortunately, there is a signedness bug so it returns unsigned int. This only affects callers which try to save the result in ssize_t and as far as I can see the only place which does that is line6_hwdep_read().
TL;DR: s/_uint/_int/.
