[PATCH 2/7] KVM: x86: Improve return type handling in kvm_vm_ioctl_get_nr_mmu_pages()

kvm_vm_ioctl_get_nr_mmu_pages() tries to return a "unsigned long" value,
but its caller only stores ther return value in an "int" - which is also
what all the other kvm_vm_ioctl_*() functions are returning. So returning
values that do not fit into a 32-bit integer anymore does not work here.
It's better to adjust the return type, add a sanity check and return an
error instead if the value is too big.
