[PATCH v2 4/8] minmax: Simplify signedness check

[David Laight <David.Laight@ACULAB.COM>]

It is enough to check that both 'x' and 'y' are valid for either
a signed compare or an unsigned compare.
For unsigned they must be an unsigned type or a positive constant.
For signed they must be signed after unsigned char/short are promoted.

Order the expressions to avoid warnings about comparisons that are
always true.

Changes for v2:
- Wrap is_signed_type() to avoid issues with pointer types because
  (foo *)1 isn't a compile time constant.
- Remove the '+ 0' from __is_ok_unsigned().
  This converted 'bool' to 'int' to avoid a compiler warning and is no
  longer needed because of the implicit conversion dome by ?:.
