[PATCH v4] ucounts: add missing data type changes

From: Eric W. Biederman
Date: Mon Aug 09 2021 - 16:44:16 EST



commit f9c82a4ea89c3 ("Increase size of ucounts to atomic_long_t")
changed the data type of ucounts/ucounts_max to long, but missed to
adjust a few other places. This is noticeable on big endian platforms
from user space because the /proc/sys/user/max_*_names files all
contain 0.

v4 - Made the min and max constants long so the sysctl values
are actually settable on little endian machines.
