Subject: [PATCH 2/2] mm: hugetlb: fix type of hugetlb_treat_as_movable variable

hugetlb_treat_as_movable declared as unsigned long, but
proc_dointvec() used for parsing it:

static struct ctl_table vm_table[] = {
...
	{
		.procname	= "hugepages_treat_as_movable",
		.data		= &hugepages_treat_as_movable,
		.maxlen		= sizeof(int),
		.mode		= 0644,
		.proc_handler	= proc_dointvec,
	},

This seems harmless, but it's better to use int type here.
