cifs: fix a sign extension bug
The problem is the mismatched types between "ctx->total_len" which is
an unsigned int, "rc" which is an int, and "ctx->rc" which is a
ssize_t. The code does:
ctx->rc = (rc == 0) ? ctx->total_len : rc;
We want "ctx->rc" to store the negative "rc" error code. But what
happens is that "rc" is type promoted to a high unsigned int and
'ctx->rc" will store the high positive value instead of a negative
value.
The fix is to change "rc" from an int to a ssize_t.
