[PATCH] proc/vmcore: fix signedness bug in read_from_oldmem()

[Dan Carpenter]

The bug is the error handling:

	if (tmp < nr_bytes) {

"tmp" can hold negative error codes but because "nr_bytes" is type
size_t the negative error codes are treated as very high positive
values (success).  Fix this by changing "nr_bytes" to type ssize_t.  The
"nr_bytes" variable is used to store values between 1 and PAGE_SIZE and
they can fit in ssize_t without any issue.

Fixes: 5d8de293c224 ("vmcore: convert copy_oldmem_page() to take an iov_iter")
