Subject: [PATCH] cifs: change bleft in decode_unicode_ssetup back to signed
type
The buffer length checks in this function depend on this value being a
signed data type, but 690c522fa converted it to an unsigned type.
Also, eliminate a problem with the null termination check in the same
function. cifs_strndup_from_ucs handles that situation correctly
already, and the existing check could potentially lead to a buffer
overrun since it increments bleft without checking to see whether it
falls off the end of the buffer.
