3.17-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Maxime COQUELIN <maxime.coquelin@xxxxxx>
commit 00b4d9a14125f1e51874def2b9de6092e007412d upstream.
On some 32 bits architectures, including x86, GENMASK(31, 0) returns 0
instead of the expected ~0UL.
This is the same on some 64 bits architectures with GENMASK_ULL(63, 0).
This is due to an overflow in the shift operand, 1 << 32 for GENMASK,
1 << 64 for GENMASK_ULL.
