Subject: [PATCH 2/3] arch/mips/net/bpf_jit.c: fix failure check

static int pkt_type_offset(void) returned -1 in case of failure, and
actual (positive) offset value in case of success. In the only instance
of its usage, the result was saved to local "unsigned int off" variable,
   which is used in a lot of places in the same (large) function, so
   changing its type could cause many warnings.
There was no signed int variable which could be just used for this case.
There are two possibilities to resolve that: to declare temporary signed
int variable to get the return value from pkt_type_offset(), or to
separate return status from returned offset value. The latter approach
was chosen, however, I am not sure which would be practically optimal.
