Subject: [PATCH v4 01/13] mm: fix type width of section to/from pfn
 conversion macros

section_nr_to_pfn() will silently accept an argument that is too small
to contain a pfn. Cast the argument to an unsigned long, similar to
PFN_PHYS(). Fix up pfn_to_section_nr() in the same way.

This was discovered in __add_pages() when converting it to use an
signed integer for the loop variable.
