jfs: Use unsigned variable for length calculations
[ Upstream commit 820eb59da8c7ca7e705a02f37dda2be316807847 ]
To avoid confusing the compiler about possible negative sizes, switch
"ssize" which can never be negative from int to u32. Seen with GCC 13:
../fs/jfs/namei.c: In function 'jfs_symlink': ../include/linux/fortify-string.h:57:33: warning: '__builtin_memcpy' pointer overflow between offset 0 and size [-2147483648, -1]
[-Warray-bounds=]
57 | #define __underlying_memcpy __builtin_memcpy
| ^
...
../fs/jfs/namei.c:950:17: note: in expansion of macro 'memcpy'
950 | memcpy(ip->i_link, name, ssize);
| ^~~~~~
