[PATCH] ipc/mqueue: use unsigned int for retval

From: Nicholas Mc Guire
Date: Fri Feb 10 2017 - 02:36:29 EST


The retval variable is assigned by bitops only and thus there is no
reason to use a signed type. Further matching it with the return
type of the function also makes static code checkers happy.
