Kees Cook d655dbd82b net/mlx4_core: Avoid impossible mlx4_db_alloc() order value
[ Upstream commit 4a6f18f28627e121bd1f74b5fcc9f945d6dbeb1e ]

GCC can see that the value range for "order" is capped, but this leads
it to consider that it might be negative, leading to a false positive
warning (with GCC 15 with -Warray-bounds -fdiagnostics-details):

../drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx4/alloc.c:691:47: error: array subscript -1 is below array bounds of 'long unsigned int *[2]' [-Werror=array-bounds=]
  691 |                 i = find_first_bit(pgdir->bits[o], MLX4_DB_PER_PAGE >> o);
      |                                    ~~~~~~~~~~~^~~

                 from ../drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx4/alloc.c:42:
../include/linux/mlx4/device.h:664:33: note: while referencing 'bits'

Switch the argument to unsigned int, which removes the compiler needing
to consider negative values.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
