Performance oriented customized Linux kernel based on the mainline kernel.

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].

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
