3.13-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carst...@de.ibm.com> commit d8d14bd09cddbaf0168d61af638455a26bd027ff upstream. Commit d5dc77bfeeab ("consolidate compat lookup_dcookie()") coverted all architectures to the new compat_sys_lookup_dcookie() syscall. The "len" paramater of the new compat syscall must have the type compat_size_t in order to enforce zero extension for architectures where the ABI requires that the caller of a function performed zero and/or sign extension to 64 bit of all parameters.
