[PATCH] selftests/mqueue: fix 5 warnings about signed/unsigned mismatches

[John Hubbard]

When building with clang, via:

    make LLVM=1 -C tools/testing/selftest

...clang warns about several cases of using a signed integer for the
priority argument to mq_receive(3), which expects an unsigned int.

Fix this by declaring the type as unsigned int in all cases.

It feels a bit odd for prio_out and prio_in to have different types. I don't
have any prior familiararity with these tests but looks like they are ultimately
the parameters of mq_send() and mq_receive() which both define them as unsigned
ints. Perhaps both should be converted?

This makes sense, and I recall wondering about it. Looking at it again,
I see why didn't go that far: there is a mini-unit test manager inside,
passing around priorities that are signed, throughout:

         struct test {
         	char *desc; void (*func)(int *);
         };

         ...

         void inc_prio(int *prio) {
         	if (++*prio == mq_prio_max)
         		*prio = 0;
         }

However, I can probably fix up everything to match up. Given that you've
called it out, I'll go ahead with that approach. Iit will be quite a few
changes but they will all be trivial too.

Ahh I see. It would certainly be an improvement, but if you don't think it's
worth the effort, then don't feel you need to do it on my account.
