From: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: proc: more "unsigned int" in /proc/*/cmdline access_remote_vm() doesn't return negative errors, it returns number of bytes read/written (0 if error occurs). This allows to delete some comparisons which never trigger. Reuse "nr_read" variable while I'm at it.
