Subject: [PATCH] lib/group_cpus: Fix unsigned expression compared with zero

The nr_present and nr_others is defined as unsigned int type,
if(nr_present < 0) and if(nr_others < 0 )is invalid. At the same time, the
return value of function __group_cpus_evenly also of type int. so modified
the types of nr_present and nr_others to int.

lib/group_cpus.c:380 group_cpus_evenly() warn: unsigned 'nr_present' is never less than zero.
lib/group_cpus.c:396 group_cpus_evenly() warn: unsigned 'nr_others' is never less than zero.
