In preparation for changing the saturation point of REFCOUNT_FULL to INT_MIN/2, change the type of integer operands passed into the API from 'unsigned int' to 'int' so that we can avoid casting during comparisons when we don't want to fall foul of C integral conversion rules for signed and unsigned types. Since the kernel is compiled with '-fno-strict-overflow', we don't need to worry about the UB introduced by signed overflow here. Furthermore, we're already making heavy use of the atomic_t API, which operates exclusively on signed types.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
