799ba82de01e ("sched/deadline: Use C bitfields for the state flags")
converted state flags into one-bit signed int. Signed one-bit type can be
either 0 or -1, which is going to cause a problem once 1 is assigned to
it and then the value later tested against 1.
The current code is okay, as all the checks are (non-)zero check, but I believe
that we'd rather be safe than sorry here; remove the fragility by converting
the state flags to unsigned int, where 1 actually really is 1.
This also silences annoying sparse complaints about this very issue when
compiling any code that includes sched.h.
