[PATCH] tcp: Avoid comparison of expressions with different signedness in RTT_SET()

[Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>]

With gcc 14.2, building against musl 1.2.5 (slightly outdated Alpine
on x86_64):

tcp.c: In function 'tcp_update_seqack_wnd':

for some reason, that's not reported by gcc with glibc.

Cast the result of ilog2() to unsigned before using it, as it's always
positive the way we're using it. Should this ever break this for
whatever unlikely reason, RTT_EXP_MAX is the fallback value we want to
use anyway.
