Making 'blk' sector_t (i.e. 64 bit if LBD support is active)

This bug was introduced in patch 3 of my prior Amiga partition
support fixes series, and spotted by Christian Zigotzky when
testing the latest block updates.

Explicitly cast 'blk' to signed int to allow use of -1 to
terminate the partition block linked list.

Hello Michael,

Thanks for your patch.

I patched the latest git kernel source code with your patch today but unfortunately the kernel has reported a bad geometry. (EXT4-fs (sda4): bad geometry: block count ...)

dmesg | grep -i sda

I can't mount the ext4 partition on the RDB disk and booting isn't possible as well.

Thanks,
Christian
