Subject: futex: Prevent overflow by strengthen input validation

From: Li Jinyue <lijinyue@huawei.com>

commit fbe0e839d1e22d88810f3ee3e2f1479be4c0aa4a upstream.

UBSAN reports signed integer overflow in kernel/futex.c:

 UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in kernel/futex.c:2041:18
 signed integer overflow:
 0 - -2147483648 cannot be represented in type 'int'

Add a sanity check to catch negative values of nr_wake and nr_requeue.
