From: Vadim Fedorenko <vfedorenko@xxxxxxxx> commit 40fc3054b45820c28ea3c65e2c86d041dc244a8a upstream. Commit 628a5c561890 ("[INET]: Add IP(V6)_PMTUDISC_RPOBE") introduced ip6_skb_dst_mtu with return value of signed int which is inconsistent with actually returned values. Also 2 users of this function actually assign its value to unsigned int variable and only __xfrm6_output assigns result of this function to signed variable but actually uses as unsigned in further comparisons and calls. Change this function to return unsigned int value.
