[patch] fs/file.c: silence a static checker warning

[Dan Carpenter]

This doesn't matter because all the callers verify "nr" before calling
but really "nr" should be unsigned. Otherwise, if we could get a
negative here then it would be able to go around our tests.

193 /* Do we need to expand? */
194 if (nr < fdt->max_fds)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
For this test "nr" is type promoted to a high positive so we continue.

195 return 0;
196
197 /* Can we expand? */
198 if (nr >= sysctl_nr_open)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
For this test it's treated as a negative so it's less than the max.

199 return -EMFILE;
200
