[PATCH] make local_t signed

local_t's were defined to be unsigned.  This increases confusion because
atomic_t's are signed.  The patch goes through and changes all implementations
to use signed longs throughout.

Also, x86-64 was using 32-bit quantities for the value passed into local_add()
and local_sub().  Fixed.

All (actually, both) existing users have been audited.

(Also s/__inline__/inline/ in x86_64/local.h)
