[PATCH] ext4: ext4_mb_mark_free_simple: Fix integer value truncation

'border' variable is set to a value of 2 times the block size of the
underlying filesystem. With 64k block size, the resulting value won't
fit into a 16-bit variable. Hence this commit changes the data type of
'border' to 'unsigned int'.
