Using min() compiled fine on ARM, but x86 is throwing a compile error.

    drivers/hv/channel.c: In function 'vmbus_alloc_buffer':
    ././include/linux/compiler_types.h:699:45: error: call to
    '__compiletime_assert_518' declared with attribute error: min(order, (
    __builtin_constant_p(remaining) ? ((remaining) < 2 ? 0 : 63 -
    __builtin_clzll(remaining)) : (sizeof(remaining) <= 4) ?
    __ilog2_u32(remaining) : __ilog2_u64(remaining) )) signedness error

In my v3 I may go back to using min_t. Please let me know if a cast (or
some other method) is preferred.
