Variable regset0_size is an unsigned int and it is being checked
for an error by checking if it is less than zero, and hence this
check is always going to be false. Fix this by making the variable
regset0_size signed.
Addresses-Coverity: ("Unsigned compared against 0")
Fixes: 0f17865d8847 ("introduction of regset ->get() wrappers, switching ELF coredumps to those")
