dma: dmatest: fix potential sign bug 

'cnt' is unsigned, so this code may become wrong in future as
dmatest_add_threads() can return error code:

	cnt = dmatest_add_threads(dtc, DMA_MEMCPY);
	thread_count += cnt > 0 ? cnt : 0;
		        ^^^^^^^

Now it can return only -EINVAL if and only if second argument of
dmatest_add_threads() is not one of DMA_MEMCPY, DMA_XOR, DMA_PQ.
So, now it is not wrong but may become wrong in future.

The semantic patch that finds this problem (many false-positive results):
