Alice Ryhl f090f0d0ee rust: sync: update integer types in CondVar
Reduce the chances of compilation failures due to integer type
mismatches in `CondVar`.

When an integer is defined using a #define in C, bindgen doesn't know
which integer type it is supposed to be, so it will just use `u32` by
default (if it fits in an u32). Whenever the right type is something
else, we insert a cast in Rust. However, this means that the code has a
lot of extra casts, and sometimes the code will be missing casts if u32
happens to be correct on the developer's machine, even though the type
might be something else on a different platform.

This patch updates all uses of such constants in
`rust/kernel/sync/condvar.rs` to use constants defined with the right
type. This allows us to remove various unnecessary casts, while also
future-proofing for the case where `unsigned int != u32` (even though
that is unlikely to ever happen in the kernel).

I wrote this patch at the suggestion of Benno in [1].
