[ARM] 4837/1: make __get_unaligned_*() return unsigned types

Eric Sandeen tracked an XFS on ARM corruption bug down to a function
under fs/xfs/ involving some get_unaligned() calls on u64 pointers.
As it turns out, calling ARM's get_unaligned() on a u64 pointer
pointing to the following byte sequence:

	80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87

would return ffffffff83828180 (LE mode.)  This turns out to be
because of implicit u8 -> int promotion in ARM's implementation of
various helpers for get_unaligned(), causing them to accidentally
return signed instead of unsigned values, which in turn caused the
subsequent casts to unsigned long long in __get_unaligned_8_[bl]e()
to sign-extend the lower words.

Fix by casting the return values of __get_unaligned_[24]_[bl]e()
to unsigned int.
