binder: keep vma addresses type as unsigned long
The vma addresses in binder are currently stored as void __user *. This requires casting back and forth between the mm/ api which uses unsigned long. Since we also do internal arithmetic on these addresses we end up having to cast them _again_ to an integer type. Lets stop all the unnecessary casting which kills code readability and store the virtual addresses as the native unsigned long from mm/. Note that this approach is preferred over uintptr_t as Linus explains in [1]. Opportunistically add a few cosmetic touchups.
