RDMA: Change capability fields in ib_device_attr from int to u32

Browse source 
The capability counter fields in struct ib_device_attr are declared
as signed int, but these values are inherently non-negative. Drivers
maintain their cached caps as u32 and assign them directly into these
int fields; if a cap exceeds INT_MAX the implicit narrowing yields a
negative value visible to the IB core.

Change the signed int capability fields to u32 to match the
underlying nature of the data. Also update consumers across the IB
core, ULPs, NVMe-oF target, RDS, and NFS/RDMA so the new u32 values
are not forced back through signed int or u8 via min()/min_t() or
narrowing local variables.

The nvmet-rdma consumer of max_srq clamps it against
ib_device.num_comp_vectors, which stays a signed int, so that site
uses min_t() instead of min() to handle the signed/unsigned mismatch.
