[LTP] [PATCH] cve-2015-3290: Fix tst_syscall() return value

[Petr Vorel]

Hi all,

> The modify_ldt() syscall returns 32-bit signed integer value. Recent changes
> in tst_syscall() caused the value to be interpreted as unsigned on older
> kernels/glibc, which breaks the cve-2015-3290 test. Add explicit type cast
> to fix it.

This is caused by e5d2a05a9 ("regen.sh: Use intptr_t for tst_syscall return")
which changed returning tst_ret from int to intptr_t (which is also int for 32
bit archs, but long for 64 bit archs). This commit is also needed, thus I don't
suggest to revert it, but I wonder how many other tests it broke.

Kind regards,
Petr
