[PATCH 4/5] platform/x86: hp-wmi: fix u8 underflow in gpu_delta calculation

[Emre Cecanpunar <emreleno@gmail.com>]

gpu_delta was declared as u8 and computed as the difference of two u8
fan RPM values from the firmware fan table. If gpu_rpm < cpu_rpm, the
subtraction wraps around modulo 256, producing a large positive value
(e.g. 10 - 20 = 246 as u8). This value is then added to every
requested fan speed in hp_wmi_fan_speed_set(), causing the GPU fan to
be clamped to U8_MAX on almost every write.

The fan table originates from an undocumented WMI interface; a
firmware bug or unexpected layout could produce this condition.

Change gpu_delta to int and perform the subtraction in signed
arithmetic. On underflow, emit a warning and treat the delta as zero
so the GPU fan tracks the CPU fan directly rather than saturating.
