proc/vmcore: fix signedness bug in read_from_oldmem()
commit 641db40f3afe7998011bfabc726dba3e698f8196 upstream.
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.
