Subject: [PATCH 2/2] mm/memory_hotplug: define
 find_{smallest|biggest}_section_pfn as unsigned long

find_{smallest|biggest}_section_pfn()s find the smallest/biggest section
and return the pfn of the section. But the functions are defined as int.
So the functions always return 0x00000000 - 0xffffffff. It means
if memory address is over 16TB, the functions does not work correctly.

To handle 64 bit value, the patch defines find_{smallest|biggest}_section_pfn()
as unsigned long.
