Subject[PATCH] kfifo: fix kfifo_to_user() return type
The kfifo_to_user() macro is supposed to return zero for success or
negative error codes. Unfortunately, there is a signedness bug so
it returns unsigned int. This only affects callers which try to
save the result in ssize_t and as far as I can see the only place which
does that is line6_hwdep_read().

TL;DR: s/_uint/_int/.

Fixes: 144ecf310eb5 ("kfifo: fix kfifo_alloc() to return a signed int value")
