I agree with you.
Since the type of `_rtw_init_xmit_priv` is `s32`, I directly changed the
type of `rtw_alloc_hwxmits` to `s32` (they are neighbors in rtw_xmit.h).
In fact, there are many places where `s32` appears together with `int` 
in related files, so maybe we can leave it as a future work to make all 
of them a unified form.
