net: dccp: fix sign bug

Author: Kulikov Vasiliy <segooon@gmail.com>

'gap' is unsigned, so this code is wrong:

    gap = -new_head;
    ...
    if (gap > 0) { ... }

Make 'gap' signed.

The semantic patch that finds this problem (many false-positive results):
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// 
@ r1 @
identifier f;
@@
int f(...) { ... }

@@
identifier r1.f;
type T;
unsigned T x;
@@

*x = f(...)
 ...
*x > 0
