    iio: core: Use min() instead of min_t() to make code more robust
    
    [ Upstream commit cb1d17535061ca295903f97f5cb0af9db719c02c ]
    
    min() has strict type checking and preferred over min_t() for
    unsigned types to avoid overflow. Here it's unclear why min_t()
    was chosen since both variables are of the same type. In any
    case update to use min().
