Subject: [PATCH v3 3/5] mm: Make PR_MDWE_REFUSE_EXEC_GAIN an unsigned long
Date:   Tue,  4 Jul 2023 17:36:27 +0200

Defining a prctl flag as an int is a footgun because on a 64 bit machine
and with a variadic implementation of prctl (like in musl and glibc),
when used directly as a prctl argument, it can get casted to long with
garbage upper bits which would result in unexpected behaviors.

This patch changes the constant to an unsigned long to eliminate that
possibilities. This does not break UAPI.
