locks: fix checking of fcntl_setlease argument
commit 0ec4f431eb56d633da3a55da67d5c4b88886ccc7 upstream.
The only checks of the long argument passed to fcntl(fd,F_SETLEASE,.)
are done after converting the long to an int. Thus some illegal values
may be let through and cause problems in later code.
[ They actually *don't* cause problems in mainline, as of Dave Jones's
commit 8d657eb3b438 "Remove easily user-triggerable BUG from
generic_setlease", but we should fix this anyway. And this patch will
be necessary to fix real bugs on earlier kernels. ]
