mm/mprotect: use long for page accountings and retval
Switch to use type "long" for page accountings and retval across the whole procedure of change_protection(). The change should have shrinked the possible maximum page number to be half comparing to previous (ULONG_MAX / 2), but it shouldn't overflow on any system either because the maximum possible pages touched by change protection should be ULONG_MAX / PAGE_SIZE. Two reasons to switch from "unsigned long" to "long": 1. It suites better on count_vm_numa_events(), whose 2nd parameter takes a long type. 2. It paves way for returning negative (error) values in the future. Currently the only caller that consumes this retval is change_prot_numa(), where the unsigned long was converted to an int. Since at it, touching up the numa code to also take a long, so it'll avoid any possible overflow too during the int-size convertion.
