[PATCH] dma-mapping: Use unsigned types for size checks

[Isaac J. Manjarres]

Both the size parameter in the dma_alloc_from_[dev/global]_coherent()
functions and the size field in the dma_coherent_mem structure
are represented by a signed quantity, which makes it so that any
comparisons between these two quantities is a signed comparison.

When a reserved memory region is larger than or equal to 2GB in
size, this will cause the most significant bit to be set to 1,
thus, treating the size as a negative number in signed
comparisons.

This can result in allocation failures when an amount of
memory that is strictly less than 2 GB is requested from
this region. The allocation fails because the signed comparison
to prevent from allocating more memory than what is in the
region in __dma_alloc_from_coherent() evaluates to true since
the size of the region is treated as a negative number, but the
size of the request is treated as a positive number.

Thus, change the type of the size parameter in the allocation
functions to an unsigned type, and change the type of the
size field in the dma_coherent_mem structure to an unsigned type
as well, as it does not make sense for sizes to be represented
by signed quantities.
