Subject: [PATCH] kfifo: make '__n' local variables *unsigned int*

The '__n' local variables in kfifo_{in|out|out_peek}() are declared as
*unsigned long* for some strange reason -- the underlying __kfifo_*()
functions take *unsigned int* for the corresponding 'len' parameters.
Fix those declarations to *unsigned int*...
