[DCCP]: Use `unsigned' for packet lengths

This patch implements a suggestion by Ian McDonald and

 1) Avoids tests against negative packet lengths by using unsigned int
    for packet payload lengths in the CCID send_packet()/packet_sent() routines

 2) As a consequence, it removes an now unnecessary test with regard to `len > 0'
    in ccid3_hc_tx_packet_sent: that condition is always true, since
      * negative packet lengths are avoided
      * ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet flags an error whenever the payload length is 0.
        As a consequence, ccid3_hc_tx_packet_sent is never called as all errors
        returned by ccid_hc_tx_send_packet are caught in dccp_write_xmit

 3) Removes the third argument of ccid_hc_tx_send_packet (the `len' parameter),
    since it is currently always set to skb->len. The code is updated with regard
    to this parameter change.
