Subject: [PATCH] buffer: ignore negative allocation lengths
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Treat negative length arguments to `Buffer()`/`allocUnsafe()`
as if they were zero so the allocation does not affect the
pool’s offset.

Fixes: https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/7047
