Fix two instances of undefined behavior in lib/bch.c caused by
left-shifting signed integers into or past the sign bit.

While the kernel's -fno-strict-overflow flag prevents miscompilation
today, these are formally UB per C11 6.5.7p4 and trivial to fix.

Use 1u instead of 1 to avoid undefined behavior when left-shifting
into the sign bit of a signed int. deg() can return up to 31, and
1 << 31 is UB per C11.

Cast loop variable to unsigned int before left-shifting to avoid
undefined behavior when i >= 128 and b == 3 (i << 24 overflows
signed int).
