[ 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")
Not sure why this needs to be backported?
Odd, shouldn't be, now dropped.
