[PATCH] xfs_io: don't assign cvtnum() return to unsigned var

[Eric Sandeen <sandeen@sandeen.net>]

cvtnum() returns -1LL for unparseable values, but if we
assign to a signed var, we can't test it:

xfs_io> mincore 0 xxx
range (0:0) is beyond mapping (0:1048576)

Use a temporary signed var so we can detect the error:

xfs_io> mincore 0 xxx
non-numeric length argument -- xxx

and also test whether it may overflow a size_t.
