[PATCH] bus: arm-ccn: Handle correctly no-more-cpus case

When migrating events the driver picks another cpu using
cpumask_any_but() function, which returns value >= nr_cpu_ids
when there is none available, not a negative value as the code
assumed. Fixed now.

Another day, another arm-ccn.c update...

This time Dan's static checker spotted unsigned int target
being expected to carry negative values. Fixed now.

Interestingly enough, cpumask_any_but() implementation (and its
normal prototype) returns int, but version for NR_CPUS == 1 case,
inlined in linux/cpumask.h returns unsigned int...
