[PATCH 4.1 69/84] dm: fix dm_merge_bvec regression on 32 bit systems

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit bd4aaf8f9b85d6b2df3231fd62b219ebb75d3568 upstream.

A DM regression on 32 bit systems was reported against v4.2-rc3 here:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/7/29/401

Fix this by reverting both commit 1c220c69 ("dm: fix casting bug in
dm_merge_bvec()") and 148e51ba ("dm: improve documentation and code
clarity in dm_merge_bvec").  This combined revert is done to eliminate
the possibility of a partial revert in stable@ kernels.

In hindsight the correct fix, at the time 1c220c69 was applied to fix
the regression that 148e51ba introduced, should've been to simply revert
148e51ba.
