The return type of ffs() is 'int' on all architectures except cris and

The problem I'm seeing is that the following line generates a warning
on cris and hexagon because of the mismatch between format '%u' and
return type of ffs().

printk("bits in OOB size: %u\n", ffs(ns->geom.oobsz) - 1);

But removing this warning by casting to 'int' looks odd, so I suggest
unifying the return type of ffs() on all architectures.

This patch is not compile tested yet, because I couldn't find cross
compiler for hexagon.
