highmem: Fix race in debug_kmap_atomic() which could cause warn_count to underflow
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.
