Vincent Donnefort c843fd3c73 ring-buffer: Prevent truncation of nr_pages / nr_subbufs
Although ring_buffer_per_cpu::nr_pages is defined as unsigned long, it
is capped to 32-bits in a few places, limiting the operations possible
on a very large buffer. Use `unsigned long` where appropriate and
prevent truncation of values using nr_pages (or nr_subbufs).

While at it, subbuf_size must be at least `unsigned int`.

Note that persistent, remote and user-mapped ring buffers are capping
the number of pages to 30 bits already, making "int" safe in many
places.
