Change the 'ret' variable in blk_stack_limits() from unsigned int to int,
as it needs to store negative value -1.
Storing the negative error codes in unsigned type, or performing equality
comparisons (e.g., ret == -1), doesn't cause an issue at runtime [1] but
can be confusing. Additionally, assigning negative error codes to unsigned
type may trigger a GCC warning when the -Wsign-conversion flag is enabled.
No effect on runtime.

Has it been considered to add a Fixes tag, e.g. this tag?
Fixes: fe0b393f2c0a ("block: Correct handling of bottom device misaligment")
With or without that tag:
