Most architectures that implement the old-style mmap() with byte offset use 'unsigned long' as the type for that offset, but microblaze and riscv have the off_t type that is shared with userspace, matching the prototype in include/asm-generic/syscalls.h. Make this consistent by using an unsigned argument everywhere. This changes the behavior slightly, as the argument is shifted to a page number, and an user input with the top bit set would result in a negative page offset rather than a large one as we use elsewhere. For riscv, the 32-bit sys_mmap2() definition actually used a custom type that is different from the global declaration, but this was missed due to an incorrect type check.

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.
