genirq: Clarify logic calculating bogus irqreturn_t values

Although irqreturn_t is an enum, we treat it (and its enumeration
constants) as a bitmask.

However, bad_action_ret() uses a less-than operator to determine whether
an irqreturn_t falls within allowable bit values, which means we need to
know the signededness of an enum type to read the logic, which is
implementation-dependent.

This change explicitly uses an unsigned type for the comparison. We do
this instead of changing to a bitwise test, as the latter compiles to
increased instructions in this hot path.

It looks like we get the correct behaviour currently (bad_action_ret(-1)
returns 1), so this is purely a readability fix.
