From: Mateusz Guzik <mguzik@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: ipc: fix compat msgrcv with negative msgtyp
Compat function takes msgtyp argument as u32 and passes it down to
do_msgrcv which results in casting to long, thus the sign is lost and we
get a big positive number instead.
Cast the argument to signed type before passing it down.
