arm64: cpufeatures: Correctly handle signed values
Although we've had signed values for some features such as PMUv3
and FP, the code that handles the comparaison with some limit
has a couple of annoying issues:
- the min_field_value is always unsigned, meaning that we cannot
easily compare it with a negative value
- it is not possible to have a range of values, let alone a range
of negative values
Fix this by:
- adding an upper limit to the comparison, defaulting to all bits
being set to the maximum positive value
- ensuring that the signess of the min and max values are taken into
account
A ARM64_CPUID_FIELDS_NEG() macro is provided for signed features, but
nothing is using it yet.
