Subject: [BUGFIX][PATCH] fix return value of scan_lru_pages in memory unplug

CC'ed to stable tree...maybe all kernel has this bug.
But this may not very critical because we've got no report until now.

From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@...fujitsu.com>

scan_lru_pages returns pfn. So, it's type should be "unsigned long"
not "int".

Note: I guess this has been work until now because memory hotplug tester's
      machine has not very big memory....
      physical address < 32bit << PAGE_SHIFT.
