[SECURITY PATCH 058/117] util/grub-editenv: Fix incorrect casting of a signed value

[Daniel Kiper]

From: Darren Kenny <darren.kenny@oracle.com>

The return value of ftell() may be negative (-1) on error. While it is
probably unlikely to occur, we should not blindly cast to an unsigned
value without first testing that it is not negative.

Fixes: CID 73856
