Subject[PATCH] md/raid5: Fix implicit type conversion
Date
The variable 'cpu' is defined as ULONG.
However in the for_each_present_cpu, its value 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 UINT
to INT.

Fixes: 738a273 ("md/raid5: fix allocation of 'scribble' array.")
