trace/osnoise: Make 'noise' variable s64 in run_osnoise()
Dab Carpenter reported that: The patch bce29ac9: "trace: Add osnoise tracer" from Jun 22, 2021, leads to the following static checker warning: kernel/trace/trace_osnoise.c:1103 run_osnoise() warn: unsigned 'noise' is never less than zero. In this part of the code: 1100 /* 1101 * This shouldn't happen. 1102 */ 1103 if (noise < 0) { ^^^^^^^^^ 1104 osnoise_taint("negative noise!"); 1105 goto out; 1106 } 1107 And the static checker is right because 'noise' is u64. Make noise s64 and keep the check. It is important to check if the time read is behaving correctly - so we can trust the results. I also re-arranged some variable declarations.
