Subject: [RFC PATCH v3 4/7] mm: enlarge type of offset argument in mem_map_offset and mem_map_next

Changes the type of 'offset' from int to unsigned long in both
mem_map_offset and mem_map_next.

This facilitates ktask's use of mem_map_next with its unsigned long
types to avoid silent truncation when these unsigned longs are passed as
ints.

It also fixes the preexisting truncation of 'offset' from unsigned long
to int by the sole caller of mem_map_offset, follow_hugetlb_page.
