ipw2x00: signedness bug handling frame length

Browse Source 
This is basically just a cleanup.  Large positive numbers get counted as
negative but then get implicitly cast to positive again for the checks
that matter.

This does make a small difference in ipw_handle_promiscuous_rx() when we
test "if (unlikely((len + IPW_RX_FRAME_SIZE) > skb_tailroom(rxb->skb)))"
It should return there, but we don't return until a couple lines later
when we test "if (len > IPW_RX_BUF_SIZE - sizeof(struct ipw_rt_hdr)) {".
The difference is that in the second test the sizeof() means that there
is an implied cast to unsigned.
