GCC can see that the value range for "order" is capped, but this leads
it to consider that it might be negative, leading to a false positive
warning (with GCC 15 with -Warray-bounds -fdiagnostics-details):

../drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx4/alloc.c:691:47: error: array subscript -1 is below array bounds of 'long unsigned int *[2]' [-Werror=array-bounds=]
  691 |                 i = find_first_bit(pgdir->bits[o], MLX4_DB_PER_PAGE >> o);

                 from ../drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx4/alloc.c:42:
../include/linux/mlx4/device.h:664:33: note: while referencing 'bits'
  664 |         unsigned long          *bits[2];
      |                                 ^~~~

Switch the argument to unsigned int, which removes the compiler needing
to consider negative values.
