fs/hfs/catalog.c: fix comparison bug in hfs_cat_keycmp
Relying on the sign (after casting to int) of the difference of two quantities for comparison is usually wrong. For example, should a-b turn out to be 2^31, the return value of cmp(a,b) is -2^31; but that would also be the return value from cmp(b, a). So a compares less than b and b compares less than a. One can also easily find three values a,b,c such that a compares less than b, b compares less than c, but a does not compare less than c.
