Subject[PATCH][next] clone3: fix an unsigned args.cgroup comparison to less than zero
Date
From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>

The less than zero comparison of args.cgroup is aways false because
args.cgroup is a u64 and can never be less than zero. I believe the
correct check is to cast args.cgroup to a s64 first to ensure an
invalid value is not copied to kargs->cgroup.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Unsigned compared against 0")
Fixes: ef2c41cf38a7 ("clone3: allow spawning processes into cgroups")
Signed-off-by: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>
