The comparison of signed char constants with unsigned char array
elements leads to checks that are always false. Fix this by declaring
the VBSF_MOUNT_SIGNATURE_BYTE* macros as octal unsigned int constants
rather than as signed char constants. (Argueably the U is not necessarily
required, but add it to be really clear of intent).

Fixes: 0fd169576648 ("fs: Add VirtualBox guest shared folder (vboxsf) support")
Signed-off-by: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
A fix for this has already been queued up:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs.git/log/?h=fixes
Explicit nack for this one, since it will still apply, but combined
with the other fix, it will re-break things.
Regards,
Hans
