Clang warns when one enumerated type is implicitly converted to another.

drivers/scsi/bfa/bfa_fcs_lport.c:379:26: warning: implicit conversion
from enumeration type 'enum bfa_lport_aen_event' to different
enumeration type 'enum bfa_ioc_aen_event' [-Wenum-conversion]
                                  BFA_AEN_CAT_LPORT, event);
                                                     ^~~~~

The root cause of these warnings is the bfad_im_post_vendor_event
function, which expects a value from enum bfa_ioc_aen_event but there
are multiple instances of values from enums bfa_port_aen_event,
bfa_audit_aen_event, and bfa_lport_aen_event being used in this
function.

Given that this doesn't appear to be a problem since cat helps with
differentiating the events, just change evt's type to int so that no
conversion needs to happen and Clang won't warn.

The alternate way of fixing these warnings is to explicitly cast the
conversion when calling the function but since there are about 8-10 of
these warnings, it seems logical to just change the function definiton
which is cleaner in my opinion.

See commits 3eb95feac113 ("mm/zsmalloc.c: change stat type parameter to
int") and 04fecbf51b3c ("mm: memcontrol: use int for event/state
parameter in several functions") for similar fixes.
