Subject: fs/compat: fix lookup_dcookie() parameter handling
From: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit d8d14bd09cddbaf0168d61af638455a26bd027ff upstream.
Commit d5dc77bfeeab ("consolidate compat lookup_dcookie()") coverted all
architectures to the new compat_sys_lookup_dcookie() syscall.
The "len" paramater of the new compat syscall must have the type
compat_size_t in order to enforce zero extension for architectures where
the ABI requires that the caller of a function performed zero and/or
sign extension to 64 bit of all parameters.
