usercopy: use unsigned long instead of uintptr_t

Browse Source 
A recent commit factored out a series of annoying (unsigned long) casts
into a single variable declaration, but made the pointer type a
`uintptr_t` rather than the usual `unsigned long`. This patch changes it
to be the integer type more typically used by the kernel to represent
addresses.
