[PATCH] fs: Fix internal type confusion in getdents system calls

[Florian Weimer]

The callback functions use a signed int type, but the callers have
only verified the value as an unsigned type.  This should be only
a cosmetic change because if the value wraps around, this error
check catches it:

        if (reclen > buf->count)
                return -EINVAL;

But it should be clearer to prevent the wrap-around.
