Subject: [PATCH] wireguard: queueing: Fix implicit type conversion

The parameter 'cpu' is defined as unsigned int.
However in the cpumask_next() it is implicitly type conversed
to int.
It is universally accepted that the implicit type conversion is
terrible.
Also, having the good programming custom will set an example for
others.
Thus, it might be better to change the type of 'cpu' from
unsigned int to int.

Fixes: e7096c1 ("net: WireGuard secure network tunnel")
