When handling TSC attributes, cast the userspace provided virtual address
to an unsigned long before casting it to a pointer to fix warnings on
32-bit kernels due to casting a 64-bit integer to a 32-bit pointer.

Add a check that the truncated address matches the original address, e.g.
to prevent userspace specifying garbage in bits 63:32.
