When building with clang, via:

     make LLVM=1 -C tools/testing/selftests

...two types of warnings occur:

     warning: absolute value function 'abs' given an argument of type
     'long' but has parameter of type 'int' which may cause truncation of
     value

     warning: taking the absolute value of unsigned type 'unsigned long'
     has no effect

Fix these by:

a) using labs() in place of abs(), when long integers are involved, and

b) Change to use signed integer data types, in places where subtraction
    is used (and could end up with negative values).

c) Remove a duplicate abs() call in cmt_test.c.

In general, instead of filename, it's better to refer to the actual
function in this kind of description. And in this particular case,
cmt_test.c could be replaced with "the CMT selftest" which is more
descriptive and still unambiguous.

Sure, I'll change that.
