scif_get_window_offset(..) takes an integer argument for the number of
pages. We believe that an int for number of 4K pages is sufficient for
current systems. I don't think there is an issue here.

The function expects the lock to be held by the caller so there is no
issue here.

It might be useful to enhance checkpatch to catch such issues.

Why is this change required? The earlier code was being used to detect
wraparound and I think it works fine.
