This is an interesting regression with gcc-8, showing a harmless

I tried to come up with a reduced test case for gcc here
a few times, but every time ended up with code that is actually
wrong with older gcc versions missing the bug and gcc-8 finding
it. As this is the only false-positive -Wmaybe-uninitialized
warnign I got with gcc-8 randconfig builds, I'd suggest we
work around it.

Making the index variable 'unsigned' is enough to shut up
the warning, as gcc can then see that comparing eqidx to
phba->io_channel_irqs is fine here.
