  n_elem is unsigned int which never < 0.
  but it seems, we realy need check it whether < 0.
  so need a type cast for it.

  find it by EXTRA_CFLAGS=-W

(int)n_elem < 0 is equivalent to n_elem >= 0x80000000, and if that is
true then n_elem > max_n_elem (because max_n_elem <= 0xff).

  ok, thanks, my subject and the comments are incorrect.

  but I still prefer to improve the original code like below.
    (also need change the subject and the comments)
