Series overflow: Refactor open-coded arithmetic wrap-around | expand

The loop counter "i" in copy_compat_iovec_from_user() is an int, but
because the nr_segs argument is unsigned long, the signed overflow
sanitizer got worried "i" could wrap around. Instead of making "i" an
unsigned long (which may enlarge the type size), switch both nr_segs
and i to u32. There is no truncation with nr_segs since its is never
larger than UIO_MAXIOV anyway. This keeps sanitizer instrumentation[1]
out of a UACCESS path:

vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: copy_compat_iovec_from_user+0xa9: call to __ubsan_handle_add_overflow() with UACCESS enabled
