s390/appldata: make copy_from_user() invocations provably correct 

Just change the type of "len" to unsigned int so the compiler can prove
that we don't have a buffer overflow (and generates less code).
We get rid of these:

In function 'copy_from_user',
    inlined from 'appldata_interval_handler' at
    arch/s390/appldata/appldata_base.c:265:
      uaccess.h:303: warning: call to 'copy_from_user_overflow' declared
      with attribute warning: copy_from_user() buffer size is not provably
      correct

    inlined from 'appldata_timer_handler' at

      with attribute warning: copy_from_user() buffer size is not provably
      correct
