The members of bpf_prog_info, which are line_info, jited_line_info,
jited_ksyms and jited_func_lens, store u64 address pointed to the
corresponding memory regions. Memory addresses are conceptually
unsigned, (unsigned long) casting makes more sense, so let's make
a change for conceptual uniformity.

Took in patch 1-3, lgtm, thanks! My question around the cleanups in patch 4-6 ...
there are various other such cases e.g. in libbpf, perhaps makes sense to clean all
of them up at once and not just the 4 locations in here.


sorry for reply so late, I will take this soon.

Thanks,
Daniel
