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.
