mm/page-writeback.c: dirty limit type should be unsigned long 

get_dirty_limits() calls clip_bdi_dirty_limit() and task_dirty_limit()
with variable pbdi_dirty as one of the arguments.  This variable is an
unsigned long * but both functions expect it to be a long *.  This causes
the following sparse warnings:

  warning: incorrect type in argument 3 (different signedness)
     expected long *pbdi_dirty
     got unsigned long *pbdi_dirty
  warning: incorrect type in argument 2 (different signedness)
     expected long *pdirty
     got unsigned long *pbdi_dirty

Fix the warnings by changing the long * to unsigned long * in both
functions.
