4.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Nicholas Mc Guire <hofrat@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit b7afce51d95726a619743aaad8870db66dfa1479 ] wait_for_completion_timeout returns unsigned long not int so a variable of proper type is introduced. Further the check for <= 0 is ambiguous and should be == 0 here indicating timeout which is the only error case so no additional check needed here.
