[PATCH][next] apparmor: fix error returns checks by making size a ssize_t

From: Colin King
Date: Fri Mar 23 2018 - 19:34:36 EST


From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Currently variable size is a unsigned size_t, hence comparisons to
see if it is less than zero (for error checking) will always be
false. Fix this by making size a ssize_t

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1466080 ("Unsigned compared against 0")

Fixes: 8e51f9087f40 ("apparmor: Add support for attaching profiles via xattr, presence and value")
