[PATCH] net/bnxt: harden CPU index validation in stats cache thread

[Manish Kurup <manish.kurup@broadcom.com>]

From: Mohammad Shuab Siddique <mohammad-shuab.siddique@broadcom.com>

Use a < 0 guard instead of == -1 when checking the return values of
ulp_sc_find_free_cpu() and ulp_sc_get_first_dpdk_cpu() before passing
target_cpu to CPU_SET(). Both helpers only ever return -1 today, so
this does not change behavior for the current implementation, but it
makes the non-negative invariant on target_cpu explicit at the
CPU_SET() call site instead of relying on -1 being the only possible
failure value.
