My static checker says that "group" is a user controlled number that can

not an expert enough in lustre to say for sure if it is really a bug.
Anyway, it's simple enough to make the variable unsigned which pleases
the static checker and makes it easier to audit.

Dmitry do you this this could be placed under place under LU-6303 or does a new ticket need to be open.
I also CC Frank Zago who is very familiar with this code. To me it looks okay.

Yes, but for consistency, all 4 functions should be changed.
