[PATCH 1/2] Fix race in debug_kmap_atomic() which could cause warn_count to underflow

[Soeren Sandmann <sandmann@daimi.au.dk>]

debug_kmap_atomic() tries to prevent ever printing more than 10
warnings, but it does so by testing whether an unsigned integer is
equal to 0. However, if the warning is caused by a nested IRQ, then
this counter may underflow and the stream of warnings will never end.

Fix that by using a signed integer instead.
