[PATCH] crash: Fix linux-next build warning

From: Xunlei Pang
Date: Mon May 15 2017 - 02:44:50 EST


linux-next build (arm multi_v7_defconfig) produced this warning:

kernel/crash_core.c: In function 'vmcoreinfo_append_str':
include/linux/kernel.h:757:16: warning: comparison of distinct pointer

r = min(r, VMCOREINFO_BYTES - vmcoreinfo_size);
^

This patch fixes it with an explicit "size_t" type-casting on
VMCOREINFO_BYTES.

Andrew will help merge it into commit fc7d2b44367f ("powerpc/fadump:
use the correct VMCOREINFO_NOTE_SIZE for phdr") before sending it to
stable.
