[PATCH] staging: fsl-mc/dpio: Fix incorrect comparison

For some dpio functions, a negative cpu id parameter value is
valid and means "any". But when trying to validate this param
value against an upper limit, in this case num_possible_cpus(),
we risk obtaining the wrong result due to an implicit cast
to unsigned.

Avoid an incorrect check result when cpu id is negative, by
explicitly stating the comparison is between signed values.
