Subject: [PATCH] ftrace: '< 0' test on unsigned

or should this be fixed, with

        if (!cnt || cnt > DEFINE)

if so, what should DEFINE be?

This patch wasn't tested in any way.
------------------------------>8-------------8<---------------------------------
cnt is unsigned, so the '< 0' test won't work.
