[PATCH] pstore/zone: cleanup "rcnt" type

[Dan Carpenter]

The info->read() function returns ssize_t.  That means that info->read()
either returns either negative error codes or a positive number
representing the bytes read.

The "rcnt" variable should be declared as ssize_t as well.  Most places
do this correctly but psz_kmsg_recover_meta() needed to be fixed.

This code casts the "rcnt" to int.  That is unnecessary when "rcnt"
is already signed.  It's also slightly wrong because if info->read()
returned a very high (more than INT_MAX) number of bytes then this might
treat that as an error.  This bug cannot happen in real life, so it
doesn't affect run time, but static checkers correctly complain that it
is wrong.

fs/pstore/zone.c:366 psz_kmsg_recover_data() warn: casting 'rcnt' truncates high bits

The static checker heuristic in this case is looking at ssize_t
functions which return kernel error codes.  It generates very few
warnings.  I haven't published it yet but I will.
