[PATCH][next] IB/uverbs: fix an unsigned being compared to < 0

From: Colin King
Date: Sat Dec 22 2018 - 13:32:04 EST


From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The check for num_sge < 0 is always false because num_sge is not signed,
fix this by declaring it as an int.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1476005 ("Unsigned compared against 0")

Fixes: ad8a4496757f ("IB/uverbs: Add support to advise_mr")
