The bitfield allocation function returns error condition
as a negative value, but in two cases its result
was assigned to an unsigned member of the hw_perf_event
structure, thus the error would not be ever detected.

Fixed by using an intermediate, signed variable.

Dan discovered the problem using his static checker. Thanks, Dan!

Arnd, would you pick up the patch as it is or do you want me
to send a pull request for a "ccn/fixes" branch?

I've started to prefer applying patches for cases like these, single-patch
pull requests are actually more work than doing that.

So: applied on top of next/drivers, where the CCN driver was merged
as well.


Thanks!
