net: phy: fix phy_read_poll_timeout argument type in genphy_loopback
read_poll_timeout inside phy_read_poll_timeout can set val negative
in some cases (for example, __mdiobus_read inside phy_read can return
-EOPNOTSUPP).
Supposedly, commit 4ec732951702 ("net: phylib: fix phy_read*_poll_timeout()")
should fix problems with wrong-signed vals, but I do not see how
as val is sent to phy_read as is and __val = phy_read (not val)
is checked for sign.
Change val type for signed to allow better error handling as done in other
phy_read_poll_timeout callers. This will not fix any error handling
by itself, but allows, for example, to modify cond with appropriate
sign check or check resulting val separately.
