[PATCH next 5/5] minmax: Relax check to allow comparison between int and small unsigned constants.

[David Laight <David.Laight@ACULAB.COM>]

Convert constants between 0 and INT_MAX to 'int' prior to comparisons
so that min(signed_var, 20u) and, more commonly, min(signed_var, sizeof())
are both valid.
