[lttng-dev] [patch] Staging: lttng: dubious one-bit signed bitfields

Sparse complains that these signed bitfields look "dubious".  The
problem is that instead of being either 0 or 1 like people would expect,
signed one bit variables like this are either 0 or -1.  It doesn't cause
a problem in this case but it's ugly so lets fix them.

I just did this against linux next but it applies fine on top of
Mathieu's recent patches.
