fs/verity/ isn't consistent with whether Merkle tree block indices are 'unsigned long' or 'u64'. There's no real point to using u64 for them, though, since (a) a Merkle tree with over ULONG_MAX blocks would only be needed for a file larger than MAX_LFS_FILESIZE, and (b) for reads, the status of all Merkle tree blocks has to be tracked in memory. Therefore, let's make things a bit more efficient on 32-bit systems by using 'unsigned long[]' for merkle_tree_params::level_start, instead of 'u64[]'. Also, to be extra safe, explicitly check that there aren't more than ULONG_MAX Merkle tree blocks.

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 Restructured Text 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.
