netns: make struct pernet_operations::id unsigned int
Make struct pernet_operations::id unsigned.

There are 2 reasons to do so:

1)
This field is really an index into an zero based array and
thus is unsigned entity. Using negative value is out-of-bound
access by definition.

2)
On x86_64 unsigned 32-bit data which are mixed with pointers
via array indexing or offsets added or subtracted to pointers
are preffered to signed 32-bit data.

"int" being used as an array index needs to be sign-extended
to 64-bit before being used.

	void f(long *p, int i)
	{
		g(p[i]);
	}

  roughly translates to

	movsx	rsi, esi
	mov	rdi, [rsi+...]
	call 	g

MOVSX is 3 byte instruction which isn't necessary if the variable is
unsigned because x86_64 is zero extending by default.

Now, there is net_generic() function which, you guessed it right, uses
"int" as an array index:

	static inline void *net_generic(const struct net *net, int id)
	{
		...
		ptr = ng->ptr[id - 1];
		...
	}

And this function is used a lot, so those sign extensions add up.

Patch snipes ~1730 bytes on allyesconfig kernel (without all junk
messing with code generation):

	add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 70/598 up/down: 396/-2126 (-1730)

Unfortunately some functions actually grow bigger.
This is a semmingly random artefact of code generation with register
allocator being used differently. gcc decides that some variable
needs to live in new r8+ registers and every access now requires REX
prefix. Or it is shifted into r12, so [r12+0] addressing mode has to be
used which is longer than [r8]

However, overall balance is in negative direction:
