depmod: use uint8_t for the child prefix/index

depmod: use uint8_t for the child prefix/index

Stop implicitly casting the child prefix/index to int. It can have high
bits set thus get promoted to wildly incorrect value and cause chaos
further on.

In addition, convert the existing `unsigned char` instances to uint8_t,
which better illustrates what we're after - a fixed sized 8 bit unsigned
integer.
