Dab Carpenter reported that:

 The patch bce29ac9ce0b: "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.
