[PATCH] gpio: Convert gpio_is_valid to return bool

[Joe Perches]

Make the code a bit more readable.

Instead of casting an int to an unsigned then comparing to
MAX_NR_GPIOS, add a >= 0 test and let the compiler optimizer
do the conversion to unsigned.

The generated code should be the same.

This came up because of a new pinmux subsystem that used
a style copied from gpio and a request from Linus Walleij.
