IS_ERR_VALUE() assumes that its parameter is an unsigned long.
It can not be used to check if an 'unsigned int' reflects an error.
As they pass an 'unsigned int' into a function that takes an
'unsigned long' argument. This happens to work because the type
is sign-extended on 64-bit architectures before it gets converted
into an unsigned type.

However, anything that passes an 'unsigned short' or 'unsigned int'
argument into IS_ERR_VALUE() is guaranteed to be broken, as are
8-bit integers and types that are wider than 'unsigned long'.

It would be nice to any users that are not passing 'unsigned int'
arguments.

Passing value in IS_ERR_VALUE() is wrong, as they pass an
'unsigned int' into a function that takes an 'unsigned long'
argument.This happens to work because the type is sign-extended
on 64-bit architectures before it gets converted into an
unsigned type.

Passing an 'unsigned short' or 'unsigned int'argument into
IS_ERR_VALUE() is guaranteed to be broken, as are 8-bit integers
and types that are wider than 'unsigned long'.

Any user will get compilation warning for that do not pass an
unsigned long' argument.
