Subject: [PATCH v2] kernel/power/hibernate.c: use 'u64' instead of 's64' to
 avoid warning

For do_div(), it need 'u64' type, which means the outside must be sure
of 'start' is not bigger than 'stop', or it will report warning.

Even if 'start' was really bigger than 'stop', it would print incorrect
information, but for kernel, it still can continue, so use WARN_ON() is
enough.

The related warning (with allmodconfig for unicore32):

    CC      kernel/power/hibernate.o
  kernel/power/hibernate.c: In function ‘swsusp_show_speed’:
  kernel/power/hibernate.c:237: warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast
