Subject: [PATCH] rose: Fix signedness issues wrt. digi count.

Just use explicit casts, since we really can't change the
types of structures exported to userspace which have been
around for 15 years or so.

The only two cases are bind() and connect().  And we only need to
guard against negative (ie. very large unsigned) values, the other
tests against addr->srose_ndigis are sane as long as we make this
check.
