The return type of ffs() is 'int' on all architectures except cris and
hexagon.  This unifies the return type to 'int'.

The problem I'm seeing is that the following line generates a warning
on cris and hexagon because of the mismatch between format '%u' and
return type of ffs().

	printk("bits in OOB size: %u\n",	ffs(ns->geom.oobsz) - 1);

But removing this warning by casting to 'int' looks odd, so I suggest
unifying the return type of ffs() on all architectures.

This patch is not compile tested yet, because I couldn't find cross
compiler for hexagon.
