[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.1 4/5] 9p/net: fix improper handling of bogus negative read/write replies

[Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>]

From: Dominique Martinet <asmadeus@codewreck.org>

[ Upstream commit d0259a856afca31d699b706ed5e2adf11086c73b ]

In p9_client_write() and p9_client_read_once(), if the server
incorrectly replies with success but a negative write/read count then we
would consider written (negative) <= rsize (positive) because both
variables were signed.

Make variables unsigned to avoid this problem.

The reproducer linked below now fails with the following error instead
of a null pointer deref:
9pnet: bogus RWRITE count (4294967295 > 3)
