From: David Howells dhowells@redhat.com

[ Upstream commit 146a1192783697810b63a1e41c4d59fc93387340 ]

afs_fs_store_data() works out of the size of the write it's going to make, but it uses 32-bit unsigned subtraction in one place that gets automatically cast to loff_t.

However, if to < offset, then the number goes negative, but as the result isn't signed, this doesn't get sign-extended to 64-bits when placed in a loff_t.

Fix by casting the operands to loff_t.
