net: Make setsockopt() optlen be unsigned.

This provides safety against negative optlen at the type
level instead of depending upon (sometimes non-trivial)
checks against this sprinkled all over the the place, in
each and every implementation.

Based upon work done by Arjan van de Ven and feedback
from Linus Torvalds.
