[PATCH] fuse: fix GCC 8 build with CONFIG_PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES

Commit 25307ca50b815 ("fuse: simplify logic in fuse_notify_store() and
fuse_retrieve()") introduced a loff_t cursor and used it in place of
outarg's offset field. In the min() expression this changed the second
operand from unsigned to signed.

With CONFIG_PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES, GCC 8 does not propagate the range
established by the preceding MAX_LFS_FILESIZE check through the branch
profiling code. Consequently, min() cannot prove that the signed operand
is nonnegative and rejects the mixed-signedness comparison:

  min(outarg.size, ((loff_t)((long long)(~0ULL >> 1))) - pos)
  signedness error

This happens with GCC 8.1 on x86-64 and GCC 8.5 on arm and s390.
GCC 8.1 remains the minimum supported compiler.

Use umin(), which is intended for comparing an unsigned value with a
signed value that is known to be nonnegative. The preceding bounds check
guarantees that MAX_LFS_FILESIZE - pos is nonnegative, and outarg.size
bounds the result to unsigned int.

Testing:
- Fails without the patch and builds with it: GCC 8.1.0 on x86-64 and
  GCC 8.5.0 on arm and s390, each with CONFIG_PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES set
- Builds either way on GCC 14 and GCC 15 on x86-64, GCC 15 on s390 and
  Clang 21 on x86-64
- With the preceding bounds check, umin() changes the signed comparison
  to an equivalent unsigned comparison. Instruction counts are unchanged
  on all tested targets
- Reproducer: defconfig plus FUSE_FS, FTRACE, TRACING and
  PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES, then build fs/fuse/notify.o

Stable backport note: in v7.1 the affected code is in fs/fuse/dev.c
