The int casts here make it easy to trigger an assert with a large soft limit. For example, set a >4TB soft limit on an empty volume to reproduce a (0 > -x) comparison due to an overflow of d_blk_softlimit.

Dave pointed me at the xfs-import archive and the code originates here: http://oss.sgi.com/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=archive/xfs-import.git;a=commit;h=0d5ad8383061fbc0a9804fbb98218750000fe032 (refer to xfs_qm_export_dquot()) It appears this code has always included these casts, either incorrectly or due to no longer relevant historical reasons, and thus are safe to remove.
