There is an unsafe signed to unsigned conversion in set_thread_tidr()
that may cause an error value to be assigned to SPRN_TIDR register and
used as thread-id.
The issue happens as assign_thread_tidr() returns an int and
thread.tidr is an unsigned-long. So a negative error code returned
from assign_thread_tidr() will fail the error check and gets assigned
as tidr as a large positive value.
To fix this the patch assigns the return value of assign_thread_tidr()
to a temporary int and assigns it to thread.tidr iff its '> 0'.
The patch shouldn't impact the calling convention of set_thread_tidr()
i.e all -ve return-values are error codes and a return value of '0'
indicates success.
