[PATCH] bfs: prevent underflow in bfs_find_entry()

From: Dan Carpenter
Date: Sat Mar 07 2020 - 01:08:20 EST


We check if "namelen" is larger than BFS_NAMELEN but we don't check
if it's less than zero so it causes a static checker.

fs/bfs/dir.c:346 bfs_find_entry() warn: no lower bound on 'namelen'

It's nicer to make it unsigned anyway.
