From: Felix Fietkau <nbd@xxxxxxxx> commit 75ea44e356b5de8c817f821c9dd68ae329e82add upstream. On some hosts, rlim.rlim_max can be returned as RLIM_INFINITY. By casting it to int, it is interpreted as -1, which will cause get_maxfds to return 0, causing "Invalid argument" errors in nftw() calls. Fix this by casting the second argument of min() to rlim_t instead.
