Functions manipulating mbuf tags are using an int type for passing the
'type' parameter, but the internal tag storage is using a 16bit
integer to store it. This leads to the following code:
t = m_tag_alloc(...,0xffffffff,...,...);
m_tag_prepend(m, t);
r = m_tag_locate(m ,...,0xffffffff, NULL);
Returning r == NULL because m_tag_locate doesn't truncate the type
parameter when doing the match. This is unexpected because the type of
the 'type' parameter is int, and the caller doesn't need to know about
the internal truncations.
Fix this by making the 'type' parameter of type uint16_t in order to
match the size of its internal storage and make it obvious to the
caller the actual size of the parameter.
While there also use uint uniformly replacing the existing u_int
instances.
