Subject: [111/289] mm: fix return value of scan_lru_pages in memory unplug

2.6.36-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

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

commit f8f72ad5396987e05a42cf7eff826fb2a15ff148 upstream.

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.
