Subject: parport: "dev->timeslice" is an unsigned long, not an int
From: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com>

While auditing proc_doulongvec_ms_jiffies_minmax() usage in kernel, I found
a bug in drivers/parport/procfs.c, incorrectly using sizeof(int) instead of
sizeof(unsigned long)

Only 64bit arches are affected by this old bug.
