[PATCH] mm/memory_hotplug: fix wrong casting for __remove_section()

From: YASUAKI ISHIMATSU

__remove_section() calls __remove_zone() to shrink zone and pgdat.
But due to wrong castings, __remvoe_zone() cannot shrink zone
and pgdat correctly if pfn is over 0xffffffff.

So the patch fixes the following 3 wrong castings.

1. find_smallest_section_pfn() returns 0 or start_pfn which defined
as unsigned long. But the function always returns 32bit value
since the function is defined as int.

2. find_biggest_section_pfn() returns 0 or pfn which defined as
unsigned long. the function always returns 32bit value
since the function is defined as int.

3. __remove_section() calculates start_pfn using section_nr_to_pfn()
and scn_nr. section_nr_to_pfn() just shifts scn_nr by
PFN_SECTION_SHIFT bit. But since scn_nr is defined as int,
section_nr_to_pfn() always return 32 bit value.

The patch fixes the wrong castings.
