Subject: [PATCH 7/8] x86/kaslr: Clean up slot handling

The number of slots and slot areas can be unsigned int, since on 64-bit,
the maximum amount of memory is 2^52, the minimum alignment is 2^21, so
the slot number cannot be greater than 2^31. The slot areas are limited
by MAX_SLOT_AREA, currently 100. Replace the type used for slot number,
which is currently a mix of int and unsigned long, with unsigned int
consistently.

Drop unnecessary check that number of slots is not zero in
store_slot_info, it's guaranteed to be at least 1 by the calculation.

Drop unnecessary alignment of image_size to CONFIG_PHYSICAL_ALIGN in
find_random_virt_addr, it cannot change the result: the largest valid
slot is the largest n that satisfies

  minimum + n * CONFIG_PHYSICAL_ALIGN + image_size <= KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE

(since minimum is already aligned) and so n is equal to

  (KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE - minimum - image_size) / CONFIG_PHYSICAL_ALIGN

even if image_size is not aligned to CONFIG_PHYSICAL_ALIGN.
