Use size_t when capping the count argument received by mem_rw(). Since count is size_t, using min_t(int, ...) can lead to a negative value that will later be passed to access_remote_vm(), which can cause unexpected behavior. Since we are capping the value to at maximum PAGE_SIZE, the conversion from size_t to int when passing it to access_remote_vm() as "len" shouldn't be a problem.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
