Subject: [PATCH] mm: Change count_mm_mlocked_page_nr return type

From: swkhack <swkhack@...il.com>

In 64-bit machine,the value of "vma->vm_end - vma->vm_start"
maybe negative in 32bit int and the "count >> PAGE_SHIFT"'s rusult
will be wrong.So change the local variable and return
value to unsigned long will fix the problem.
