xen/sched: Fix UB shift in compat_set_timer_op()

Tamas reported this UBSAN failure from fuzzing:

Left-shifting any negative value is strictly undefined behaviour in C, and
the two parameters here come straight from the guest.

The fuzzer happened to choose lo 0xf, hi 0x8000e300.

Switch everything to be unsigned values, making the shift well defined.

As GCC documents:

As an extension to the C language, GCC does not use the latitude given in
C99 and C11 only to treat certain aspects of signed '<<' as undefined.
However, -fsanitize=shift (and -fsanitize=undefined) will diagnose such
cases.

this was deemed not to need an XSA.

Note: The unsigned -> signed conversion for do_set_timer_op()'s s_time_t
parameter is also well defined. C makes it implementation defined, and GCC
defines it as reduction modulo 2^N to be within range of the new type.

Fixes: 2942f45e09fb ("Enable compatibility mode operation for HYPERVISOR_sched_op and HYPERVISOR_set_timer_op.")
