According to fb_set_cmap() in this file, knows about it is necessary to
check 'start' whether less than zero or not, so need add related type
cast for its comparing.

The related warning:

  drivers/video/fbcmap.c:288:2: warning: comparison of unsigned expression < 0 is always false [-Wtype-limits]

What's the reason to do this, anyway? fb_set_cmap() does the same but
actually casts to a signed integer. So I think we can remove this
check here.
