Two small type-widening fixes for large arrays.  Neither changes
behaviour or memory use on any current configuration.

  1/2 changes chunk_sectors and the stripe-cache count fields to unsigned
      int, matching how they are used and avoiding implicit sign
      extension in the cache shrinker's subtraction.

  2/2 widens the badblocks sector parameters from int to sector_t so the
      helpers do not narrow a sector_t argument on very large devices.

These are independent of the other md/raid5 patches I'm sending and can
be applied on their own.

  md: change chunk_sectors and stripe cache counts to unsigned int
  md: widen badblock sectors param from int to sector_t

chunk_sectors, new_chunk_sectors, prev_chunk_sectors, max_nr_stripes,
and min_nr_stripes are never negative. Using signed int is semantically
wrong and prevents the compiler from optimizing division/modulo by
power-of-two chunk sizes to right shifts in the hot I/O path.

Change all struct fields and derived local variables to unsigned int:
  mddev->chunk_sectors
  mddev->new_chunk_sectors
  r5conf->chunk_sectors
  r5conf->prev_chunk_sectors
  r5conf->max_nr_stripes
  r5conf->min_nr_stripes
  Local: sectors_per_chunk, new_chunk, chunk_sectors

The min() in r5c_check_cached_full_stripe() required both operands to
match signedness; this is now satisfied with max_nr_stripes unsigned.

* [PATCH 2/2] md: widen badblock sectors param from int to sector_t

The badblocks core API -- badblocks_set(), badblocks_clear() and
badblocks_check() -- and the is_badblock() helper all take the range
length as sector_t.  The md wrappers rdev_set_badblocks(),
rdev_clear_badblocks() and rdev_has_badblock(), however, declared the
same length as int, narrowing sector_t to int and back again in the
middle of an otherwise 64-bit clean path.

Change the sectors parameter to sector_t in these three wrappers so it
matches the core API and is_badblock().  No functional change: current
callers pass per-I/O or per-resync-chunk lengths well within int range.
This just removes a gratuitous truncation point and keeps the type
consistent end to end.
