Subject: [PATCH] drm: sti: remove redundant sign extensions

arg is long int, so arg = (arg << 22) >> 22 makes the upper 22 bits of
arg equal to bit 9 (or bit 41). But we then mask away all but bits 0-9, so
this is entirely redundant.

gcc seems to be smart enough to realize this - the generated code is
the same. This is thus just a tiny cleanup.
