kho: use unsigned long for nr_pages

Patch series "kho: clean up page initialization logic", v2.

This series simplifies the page initialization logic in
kho_restore_page().  It was originally only a single patch [0], but on
Pasha's suggestion, I added another patch to use unsigned long for
nr_pages.

Technically speaking, the patches aren't related and can be applied
independently, but bundling them together since patch 2 relies on 1 and it
is easier to manage them this way.

This patch (of 2):

With 4k pages, a 32-bit nr_pages can span up to 16 TiB.  While it is a
lot, there exist systems with terabytes of RAM.  gup is also moving to
using long for nr_pages.  Use unsigned long and make KHO future-proof.
