[merged mm-nonmm-stable] kcov-avoid-clang-out-of-range-warning.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: kcov: avoid clang out-of-range warning
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     kcov-avoid-clang-out-of-range-warning.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-nonmm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: kcov: avoid clang out-of-range warning

The area_size is never larger than the maximum on 64-bit architectutes:

kernel/kcov.c:634:29: error: result of comparison of constant 1152921504606846975 with expression of type '__u32' (aka 'unsigned int') is always false [-Werror,-Wtautological-constant-out-of-range-compare]
                if (remote_arg->area_size > LONG_MAX / sizeof(unsigned long))
                    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The compiler can correctly optimize the check away and the code appears
correct to me, so just add a cast to avoid the warning.
