[PATCH 6.1.y 5/7] minmax: allow comparisons of 'int' against 'unsigned char/short'

[SeongJae Park <sj@kernel.org>]

From: David Laight <David.Laight@ACULAB.COM>

commit 4ead534fba42fc4fd41163297528d2aa731cd121 upstream.

Since 'unsigned char/short' get promoted to 'signed int' it is safe to
compare them against an 'int' value.
