dup2: Fix return value with oldfd == newfd and invalid fd The return value of dup2 when oldfd == newfd and the fd isn't valid is not getting properly sign extended. We end up with 4294967287 instead of -EBADF. I've reproduced this on SLE11 (2.6.27.21), openSUSE Factory (2.6.29-rc5), and Ubuntu 9.04 (2.6.28). This patch uses a signed int for the error value so it is properly extended. Commit 6c5d0512a091480c9f981162227fdb1c9d70e555 introduced this regression.
