[GIT PULL] LSM fixes for v6.1 (#2)

Hi Linus,

A small capability patch to fix an instance of undefined behavior in a
shift operator caused when shifting a signed value too far.  While the
fix is trivial and I can't imagine it causing a problem in a backport,
I'm not explicitly marking it for stable on the off chance that there
is some system out there which is relying on some wonky unexpected
behavior which this patch could break; *if* it does break, IMO it's
better that to happen in a minor or -rcX release and not in a stable
backport.

Please merge for v6.1-rcX.

-Paul
