Jeff Mahoney 2b79bc4f7e dup2: Fix return value with oldfd == newfd and invalid fd ...

The return value of dup2 when oldfd == newfd and the fd isn't valid is
not getting properly sign extended.  We end up with 4294967287 instead
of -EBADF.

I've reproduced this on SLE11 (2.6.27.21), openSUSE Factory
(2.6.29-rc5), and Ubuntu 9.04 (2.6.28).

This patch uses a signed int for the error value so it is properly
extended.

Commit 6c5d0512a0 introduced this
regression.
