Back in 2.6 era, last_addr used to be stored in seq_file->version variable, which was unsigned long. As a result, sentinels to represent gate vma and end of all vmas used unsigned values. In more recent kernels we don't used seq_file->version anymore and therefore conversion from loff_t into unsigned type is not needed. Similarly, sentinel values don't need to be unsigned. Remove type conversion for set_file position and change sentinel values to signed. While at it, change the hardcoded sentinel values with named definitions for better documentation.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
