Subject[for-next][PATCH 2/5] trace/osnoise: Make noise variable s64 in run_osnoise()
From: Daniel Bristot de Oliveira <bristot@redhat.com>

Dab Carpenter reported that:

The patch bce29ac9ce0b: "trace: Add osnoise tracer" from Jun 22,
2021, leads to the following static checker warning:

kernel/trace/trace_osnoise.c:1103 run_osnoise()
warn: unsigned 'noise' is never less than zero.

In this part of the code:

1100 /*
1101 * This shouldn't happen.
1102 */
1103 if (noise < 0) {
^^^^^^^^^
1104 osnoise_taint("negative noise!");
1105 goto out;
1106 }
1107

And the static checker is right because 'noise' is u64.

Make noise s64 and keep the check. It is important to check if
the time read is behaving correctly - so we can trust the results.

I also re-arranged some variable declarations.
