[PATCH 4/5] mm/pkeys: Make pkey unsigned in arch_set_user_pkey_access()

From: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny at intel.com>

The WARN_ON check in arch_set_user_pkey_access() in the x86 architecture
fails to check for an invalid negative value.

A simple check for less than 0 would fix this issue however, in the call
stack below arch_set_user_pkey_access() the pkey should never be
negative on any architecture.  x86 only supports 16 keys while ppc
supports 32, u8 is therefore large enough for all current architectures
and likely those in the future.

Change the type of the pkey passed to arch_set_user_pkey_access() to u8.
