Ke Li 9270742be0 net: Properly typecast int values to set sk_max_pacing_rate
[ Upstream commit 700465fd33 ]

In setsockopt(SO_MAX_PACING_RATE) on 64bit systems, sk_max_pacing_rate,
after extended from 'u32' to 'unsigned long', takes unintentionally
hiked value whenever assigned from an 'int' value with MSB=1, due to
binary sign extension in promoting s32 to u64, e.g. 0x80000000 becomes
0xFFFFFFFF80000000.

Thus inflated sk_max_pacing_rate causes subsequent getsockopt to return
~0U unexpectedly. It may also result in increased pacing rate.

Fix by explicitly casting the 'int' value to 'unsigned int' before
assigning it to sk_max_pacing_rate, for zero extension to happen.

Fixes: 76a9ebe811 ("net: extend sk_pacing_rate to unsigned long")
