4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Liping Zhang <zlpnobody@gmail.com>
commit 425fffd886bae3d127a08fa6a17f2e31e24ed7ff upstream.
Currently, inputting the following command will succeed but actually the value will be truncated:
# echo 0x12ffffffff > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_notsent_lowat
This is not friendly to the user, so instead, we should report error when the value is larger than UINT_MAX.
