[PATCH v2] mm: KSM: fix data types

From: Zhansaya Bagdauletkyzy
Date: Fri Jul 16 2021 - 01:58:22 EST


Change data types of ksm_run and ksm_stable_node_chains_prune_millisecs
as there were a few discrepancies between the types and actual values
that were stored:
1) ksm_run is declared as unsigned long but in run_store(), it is
converted to unsigned int. Change its type to unsigned int.
2) ksm_stable_node_chains_prune_millisecs is declared as int, but in
stable__node_chains_prune_millisecs_store(), it can store values up to
UINT_MAX. Change its type to unsigned int.
