fs: allow no_seek_end_llseek to actually seek
The user-visible impact of the issue is for example that without this patch sensors-detect breaks when trying to seek in /dev/cpu/0/cpuid. '~0ULL' is a 'unsigned long long' that when converted to a loff_t, which is signed, gets turned into -1. later in vfs_setpos we have 'if (offset > maxsize)', which makes it always return EINVAL. Fixes: b25472f9b961 ("new helpers: no_seek_end_llseek{,_size}()") Signed-off-by: Wouter van Kesteren <woutershep@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Andreas Dilger <adilger@dilger.ca> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
