[PATCH v11 11/12] iio: multiplexer: fix unsigned check with less than zero

[Peter Rosin]

Comparing a size_t with less than zero is always false as size_t
is unsigned. So, change the type of the variable to ssize_t and
replicate the size check from mux_configure_channel() into
mux_write_ext_info() thus ensuring that the size will fit in the
ssize_t variable.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1415278 ("Unsigned compared against 0")
