Subject: [PATCH] net/bnxt: ensure entry length is unsigned

[ upstream commit e8a197d2aa9a7375961a1e7356dfc5265a382158 ]

Otherwise, the inherent cast when multiplying entry_length by max_vnics
in the call to rte_memzone_reserve could promote max_vnics to a signed
value, causing hilarity to ensue...

Coverity issue: 127557
Fixes: 9738793f28ec ("net/bnxt: add VNIC functions and structs")
