Jann Horn 5f8463e437 eventpoll: Fix integer overflow in ep_loop_check_proc()
commit fdcfce9307 upstream.

If a recursive call to ep_loop_check_proc() hits the `result = INT_MAX`,
an integer overflow will occur in the calling ep_loop_check_proc() at
`result = max(result, ep_loop_check_proc(ep_tovisit, depth + 1) + 1)`,
breaking the recursion depth check.

Fix it by using a different placeholder value that can't lead to an
overflow.

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.
