fault_in_pages_writeable() and fault_in_pages_readable() treat the size
parameter as unsigned, doing pointer math with the value, so make this
explicit and set it to be a size_t type which all callers currently
treat it as anyway.
This solves the issue where static checkers get nervous seeing pointer
arithmetic happening with a signed value.
