6.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: David Laight David.Laight@ACULAB.COM
commit 867046cc7027703f60a46339ffde91a1970f2901 upstream.
Allow (for example) min(unsigned_var, 20).
The opposite min(signed_var, 20u) is still errored.
Since a comparison between signed and unsigned never makes the unsigned value negative it is only necessary to adjust the __types_ok() test.
