[PATCH v2 2/3] fpga: dfl-afu: fix integer truncation of npages in afu_dma_pin_pages()

From: Sebastian Josue Alba Vives <[email protected]>

In afu_dma_pin_pages(), npages is declared as int but is assigned from
region->length >> PAGE_SHIFT where region->length is u64. This causes
implicit truncation on 64-bit systems when length is large.

The truncated value is then passed to account_locked_vm() (which takes
unsigned long) with implicit sign extension, and to pin_user_pages_fast()
which takes int nr_pages, potentially causing incorrect VM accounting.

Change npages to unsigned long and add a cap to prevent values exceeding
INT_MAX from reaching pin_user_pages_fast().
