commit 722d94847de29310e8aa03fcbdb41fc92c521756 upstream. The "PAGE_SIZE - 2 - size" calculation in legacy_parse_param() is an unsigned type so a large value of "size" results in a high positive value instead of a negative value as expected. Fix this by getting rid of the subtraction.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
