Return value from rte_socket_id_by_idx() may be negative, which would
result in negative index access.

Additionally, return value was of mismatched type (function returns
signed int, socket id was unsigned).

For such check (and many others), we are clear that idx is guaranteed by rte_socket_count(), so rte_socket_id_by_idx() can never return -1. So why not just reporting this as false-positive?

Well, technically, if someone were to corrupt rte_config, it would introduce a possibility of a negative return. However, i guess, at that point we've got bigger problems, so perhaps you're right and i should drop these fixes.
