[PATCH v2 0/2] Fix truncation warnings from building test_scanf.c

The kernel test robot is reporting truncation warnings when building
lib/test_scanf.c:

1) lib/test_scanf.c:250:9: sparse: sparse: cast truncates bits from
   constant value (ffff0001 becomes 1)
   Reported on several lines.

2) include/linux/prandom.h:114:45: sparse: sparse: cast truncates bits
   from constant value (4f2e5357408c3c09 becomes 408c3c09)

(1) is caused by test_scanf.c using type_min() on an unsigned type. The
truncation is expected but the use of type_min() on an unsigned is
unnecessary because we know it is always 0.

(2) is caused by prandom_seed_state() storing a modified u64 seed value
into a u32 - sparse will warn that this causes a truncation. 

The two patches in this series fix these problems.

Richard Fitzgerald (2):
  lib: test_scanf: Remove pointless use of type_min() with unsigned
    types
  random32: Fix implicit truncation warning in prandom_seed_state()

sparse generates the following warning:

 include/linux/prandom.h:114:45: sparse: sparse: cast truncates bits from
 constant value

This is because the 64-bit seed value is manipulated and then placed in a
u32, causing an implicit cast and truncation. A forced cast to u32 doesn't
prevent this warning, which is reasonable because a typecast doesn't prove
that truncation was expected.

Logical-AND the value with 0xffffffff to make explicit that truncation to
32-bit is intended.

sparse was producing warnings of the form:

 sparse: cast truncates bits from constant value (ffff0001 becomes 1)

There is no actual problem here. Using type_min() on an unsigned type
results in an (expected) truncation.

However, there is no need to test an unsigned value against type_min().
The minimum value of an unsigned is obviously 0, and any value cast to
an unsigned type is >= 0, so for unsigneds only type_max() need be tested.

This patch also takes the opportunity to clean up the implementation of
simple_numbers_loop() to use a common pattern for the positive and
negative test.
