Subject: [PATCH 1/3] arch/metag/kernel/cachepart.c: fix failure check

[linux-3.16-rc5/arch/metag/kernel/cachepart.c:102]: (style) Checking if unsigned variable 'thread_cache_size' is less than zero.

Source code is

        if (thread_cache_size < 0)
            pr_emerg("Can't read %s cache size\n",
                 cache_type ? "DCACHE" : "ICACHE");

but

    unsigned int thread_cache_size;

Function get_thread_cache_size returns an error code
as (unsigned int) -1.
