[PATCH] staging-slicoss: Use a signed return type for slic_card_locate()

The return type "u32" was used by the slic_card_locate() function
despite of the aspect that it will eventually return a negative
error code.
Improve this implementation detail by using the type "s32" instead.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
