mainlining shenanigans

Payload sizes for mailbox commands are expected to be positive values coming from userspace. The documentation correctly describes these as always unsigned values. The mailbox and send structures that support the mailbox commands however, use __s32 types for the payloads. Replace __s32 with __u32 in the mailbox and send command structures and update usages. Kernel users of the interface already block all negative values and there is no known ability for userspace to have grown a dependency on submitting negative values to the kernel. The known user of the IOCTL, the CXL command line interface (cxl-cli) already enforces positive size values. A Smatch warning of a signedness uncovered this issue.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
