tap: Cast TAP_BUF_BYTES - ETH_MAX_MTU to ssize_t, not TAP_BUF_BYTES

Browse source 
Given that we're comparing against 'n', which is signed, we cast
TAP_BUF_BYTES to ssize_t so that the maximum buffer usage, calculated
as the difference between TAP_BUF_BYTES and ETH_MAX_MTU, will also be
signed.

This doesn't necessarily happen on 32-bit architectures, though. On
armhf and i686, clang-tidy 18.1.8 and 19.1.2 report:

/home/pi/passt/tap.c:1087:16: error: comparison of integers of different signs: 'ssize_t' (aka 'int') and 'unsigned int' [clang-diagnostic-sign-compare,-warnings-as-errors]
 1087 |         for (n = 0; n <= (ssize_t)TAP_BUF_BYTES - ETH_MAX_MTU; n += len) {
      |                     ~ ^  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

cast the whole difference to ssize_t, as we know it's going to be
positive anyway, instead of relying on that side effect.
