mm: fix incorrect variable type in do_try_to_free_pages()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
"Smarter retry of costly-order allocations" patch series change behaver of
do_try_to_free_pages().  But unfortunately ret variable type was
unchanged.

Thus an overflow is possible.
