Subject: [PATCH] audit: cast decimal constant for invalid uid to unsigned

SFR reported this 2013-05-15:

> After merging the final tree, today's linux-next build (i386 defconfig)

> Introduced by commit 780a7654cee8 ("audit: Make testing for a valid

Replace this decimal constant in the code with a macro to make it more readable
and add an unsigned cast to quiet the warning.
