Subject: [PATCH 4/4] Squelch compiler warning in sk_rmem_schedule()

From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@...cle.com>

In file included from linux/include/linux/tcp.h:227:0,
                 from linux/include/linux/ipv6.h:221,
                 from linux/include/net/ipv6.h:16,

                 from linux/net/sunrpc/stats.c:22:
linux/include/net/sock.h: In function ‘sk_rmem_schedule’:
linux/nfs-2.6/include/net/sock.h:1339:13: warning: comparison between
  signed and unsigned integer expressions [-Wsign-compare]

Seen with gcc (GCC) 4.6.3 20120306 (Red Hat 4.6.3-2) using the
-Wextra option.

[c76562b6: netvm: prevent a stream-specific deadlock] accidentally replaced
the "size" parameter of sk_rmem_schedule() with an unsigned int. This
changes the semantics of the comparison in the return statement.

In sk_wmem_schedule we have syntactically the same comparison, but
"size" is a signed integer.  In addition, __sk_mem_schedule() takes
a signed integer for its "size" parameter, so there is an implicit
type conversion in sk_rmem_schedule() anyway.

Revert the "size" parameter back to a signed integer so that the
semantics of the expressions in both sk_[rw]mem_schedule() are
exactly the same.
