The condition comparing ret to VHOST_SCSI_PREALLOC_SGLS was incorrect, as ret holds the result of kstrtouint() (typically 0 on success), not the parsed value. Update the check to use cnt, which contains the actual user-provided value.
prevents silently accepting values exceeding the maximum inline_sg_cnt.
