Nitpicking: please also fix the kernel message to say ">=".

With that:

Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

Note that:

- arch/arm64/mm/numa.c copied the same sign bug (or unrobustness if we 
  don't want to call it a bug).

- Kudos to the mm/memcontrol.c and kernel/bpf/syscall.c teams for not 
  copying that bug. Booo for none of them fixing the buggy pattern 
  elsewhere in the kernel ;-)

Thanks,

	Ingo
