Fix tautological (endless) loop in vixTools.c

While testing the new clang600-import branch (see bug 224669), I noticed that
open-vm-tools fails to compile, due to a new warning in clang 6.0.0:

--- libvix_la-vixTools.lo ---
vixTools.c:7333:22: error: result of comparison 'int' <= 4294967295 is always
true [-Werror,-Wtautological-constant-compare]
   for (var = 0; var <= 0xFFFFFFFF; var++) {
                 ~~~ ^  ~~~~~~~~~~
1 error generated.

Here is a patch to fix that particular error, and this also avoids an endless
loop in practice.
