#1657417 — [PATCH][V2] net: stmmac: ensure jumbo_frm error return is correctly checked for -ve value

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>

The current comparison of entry < 0 will never be true since entry is an
unsigned integer. Make entry an int to ensure -ve error return values
from the call to jumbo_frm are correctly being caught.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1238760 ("Macro compares unsigned to 0")

Perhaps it would be good to mention that the return value of jumbo_frm
is an int and that the subsequent computations on entry are all on small
values so there is no need for unsigned.

I know Julia asked for more comments, but I'm going to apply this
as-is for now as it is correct.

Thanks Colin.
