net/mlx5e: Use unsigned for mlx5e_get_max_num_channels
The max number of channels is always an unsigned int, use the correct
type to fix compilation errors done with strict type checking, e.g.:
error: call to ‘__compiletime_assert_1110’ declared with attribute
error: min(mlx5e_get_devlink_param_num_doorbells(mdev),
mlx5e_get_max_num_channels(mdev)) signedness error
Fixes: 74a8dadac17e ("net/mlx5e: Preparations for supporting larger number of channels")
