vcpuid is unsigned int, therefore the value will never be negative.

It fixes compilation with clang 3.5:
vpsci.c:29:18: error: comparison of unsigned expression < 0 is always false [-Werror,-Wtautological-compare]
    if ( (vcpuid < 0) || (vcpuid >= MAX_VIRT_CPUS) )
          ~~~~~~ ^ ~

These sorts of compiler warnings annoy me because one thing the existing
check protects against is someone who changes the type of the variable
to a signed type (and vcpuid is often held in a signed type inside Xen I
think), at which point the condition can become true.

But any way, I expect I'm in the minority here, and in this specific
case the type of vcpuid is mandated by the PSCI standard (I think) so:
