Subject: [PATCH 5.19 0246/1157] usercopy: use unsigned long instead of uintptr_t

From: Jason A. Donenfeld <Jason@...c4.com>

[ Upstream commit 170b2c350cfcb6f74074e44dd9f916787546db0d ]

A recent commit factored out a series of annoying (unsigned long) casts
into a single variable declaration, but made the pointer type a
`uintptr_t` rather than the usual `unsigned long`. This patch changes it
to be the integer type more typically used by the kernel to represent
addresses.

Fixes: 35fb9ae4aa2e ("usercopy: Cast pointer to an integer once")
