    kevent: Prohibit negative change and event list lengths
    
    Previously, a negative change list length would be treated the same as
    an empty change list.  A negative event list length would result in
    bogus copyouts.  Make kevent(2) return EINVAL for both cases so that
    application bugs are more easily found, and to be more robust against
    future changes to kevent internals.
