libcamera: ipa_module: Fix implicit sign-extension in elfSection

Given how the elfSection() function uses the sub-expression

       (idx * eHdr->e_shentsize)

it has effectively two (16 bits, unsigned) operands.
The sub-expression is promoted to type int (32 bits, signed) for
multiplication and then added to eHdr->e_shoff, which is uint32_t on
32-bit platforms and uint64_t on 64-bit platforms. Since eHdr->e_shoff
is unsigned, the integer conversion rules dictate that the other signed
operand (i.e. the result of aforementioned sub-expression) will be
converted to unsigned type too. This causes sign-extension for both of
the above operands to match eHdr->e_shoff's type and should be avoided.

The solution is to explicitly cast one of the operands of the
sub-expression with unsigned int type. Hence, the other operand will be
integer promoted and the resultant will also be of unsigned int type,
not requiring to bother about a sign-extension.
