net/9p/trans_fd.c: Fix unsigned return type

Author: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>

The function has an unsigned return type, but returns a negative constant
to indicate an error condition.  The result of calling the function is
always stored in a variable of type (signed) int, and thus unsigned can be
dropped from the return type.

A sematic match that finds this problem is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// 
@exists@
identifier f;
constant C;
@@

 unsigned f(...)
 { <+...
*  return -C;
 ...+> }
//
