Bug #2722: bpf_filter's memory array is signed
http://bugs.dragonflybsd.org/issues/2722
* Author: guy

----------------------------------------
The mem[] array in bpf_filter(), for scratch memory in BPF programs, is an array of signed 32-bit integers. However, 1) all references to it either assign unsigned 32-bit values to elements in the array or assign the value of elements in the array to unsigned 32-bit values, and in some other BSDs it's unsigned.
This shouldn't affect the behavior of the code (at least on 2's-complement machines, but I don't foresee a Univac 2200-series port of any of the BSDs any time soon :-)), but it makes it a bit cleaner and more like some other BSDs (the others will get their own patches) and the current top-of-trunk libpcap.
I've attached a fix.
