Subject: [PATCH] sys/socket.h: Fixed -Wsign-compare in musl CMSG_NXTHDR() macro

__CMSG_LEN(cmsg) is an unsigned long
sizeof(struct cmsghdr) is an unsigned long

So __CMSG_LEN(cmsg) + sizeof(struct cmsghdr) is also an unsigned long

__MHDR_END(mhdr) is an unsigned char pointer
(unsigned char *)(cmsg) is also an unsigned char pointer

so __MHDR_END(mhdr) - (unsigned char *)(cmsg) will not result in an
unsigned long, but in a signed long. The compiler think that there
is a world where the result can be negative, so we needs to
explicitely state that the result is unsigned.
