Subject: [PATCH] eal: explicit cast of builtin for bsf32

[ upstream commit 54a93341ccaaf3665352ddad0807cf3ed40c36f9 ]

rte_common.h:416:9:
warning: conversion to 'uint32_t' {aka 'unsigned int'} from
'int' may change the sign of the result [-Wsign-conversion]
  return __builtin_ctz(v);
         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The builtin is defined to return int, but we want to
return it as uint32_t.  Its only defined valid return
values are positive integers or zero, which is OK for
uint32_t.  So just add an explicit cast.

Fixes: 03f6bced5bba ("eal: use intrinsic function")
