A signed feature value is truncated to turn to an unsigned value
causing bad state in the system wide infrastructure. This affects
the discovery of FP/ASIMD support on arm64. Fix this by making sure
we cast it properly.

Fixes: 4f0a606bce5ec ("arm64: cpufeature: Track unsigned fields")
Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx # v4.4

Please note that this patch is only applicable for stable 4.4 tree.
I should have removed the Fixes tag.

Cheers
Suzuki
