The if statement would erroneously check for > ULONG_MAX, which could
never evaluate to true. Check for equality instead.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with the SVACE
static analysis tool.

It can trigger on a 32 bit system. I'd also expect more analysis
of the code flow than "this can not trigger switch to a condition
that can" to accompany a patch.

Oops, my bad. It can trigger on 32 bit indeed. Sorry, completely 
overlooked that.

Thanks
