TCP_USER_TIMEOUT is a TCP level socket option that takes an unsigned int. But
patch "tcp: Add TCP_USER_TIMEOUT socket option"(
dca43c75) didn't check the negative
values. If a user assign -1 to it, the socket will set successfully and wait
for
4294967295 miliseconds. This patch add a negative value check to avoid
this issue.
