Subject: [PATCH v1] tracing: Avoid possible signed 64-bit truncation

64-bit truncation to 32-bit can result in the sign of the truncated
value changing. The cmp_mod_entry is used in bsearch and so the
truncation could result in an invalid search order. This would only
happen were the addresses more than 2GB apart and so unlikely, but
let's fix the potentially broken compare anyway.
