The variable 'cpu' is defined as unsigned int.
However in the for_each_cpu, its values is assigned to -1.
That doesn't make sense and in the cpumask_next() it is implicitly
type conversed to int.
It is universally accepted that the implicit type conversion is
terrible.
Also, having the good programming custom will set an example for
others.
Thus, it might be better to change the definition of 'cpu' from
unsigned int to int.
