tcp: fix incorrect parameter validation in the do_tcp_getsockopt() function
[ Upstream commit 716edc9706deb3bb2ff56e2eeb83559cea8f22db ]
The 'len' variable can't be negative when assigned the result of
'min_t' because all 'min_t' parameters are cast to unsigned int,
and then the minimum one is chosen.
To fix the logic, check 'len' as read from 'optlen',
where the types of relevant variables are (signed) int.
