From: Jan Glaza <jan.glaza@intel.com>

The count field in virtchnl_proto_hdrs and virtchnl_filter_action_set
should never be negative while still being valid. Changing it from
int to u32 ensures proper handling of values in virtchnl messages in
driverrs and prevents unintended behavior.
In its current signed form, a negative count does not trigger
an error in ice driver but instead results in it being treated as 0.
This can lead to unexpected outcomes when processing messages.
By using u32, any invalid values will correctly trigger -EINVAL,
making error detection more robust.
