Subject: [PATCH 3/4] printk: Change type of 'boot_delay' to int *

get_option() takes its 2nd arg as int * so passing boot_delay to it
caused following warnings from sparse:

 kernel/printk.c:223:27: warning: incorrect type in argument 2 (different signedness)
 kernel/printk.c:223:27:    expected int *pint
 kernel/printk.c:223:27:    got unsigned int static [toplevel] *<noident>

Since boot_delay can't grow more than 10,000 changing it to 'int *'
will not produce any problem.
