In order to save on redundant structs definitions
insn_get_code_seg_params() was made to return two 4-bit values in a char
but clang complains:

  arch/x86/lib/insn-eval.c:780:10: warning: implicit conversion from 'int' to 'char'
	  changes value from 132 to -124 [-Wconstant-conversion]
                  return INSN_CODE_SEG_PARAMS(4, 8);
                  ~~~~~~ ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  ./arch/x86/include/asm/insn-eval.h:16:57: note: expanded from macro 'INSN_CODE_SEG_PARAMS'
  #define INSN_CODE_SEG_PARAMS(oper_sz, addr_sz) (oper_sz | (addr_sz << 4))

Those two values do get picked apart afterwards the opposite way of how
they were ORed so wrt to the LSByte, the return value is the same.

But this function returns -EINVAL in the error case, which is an int. So
make it return an int which is the native word size anyway and thus fix
the clang warning.
