iov_iter: fix build issue due to possible type mis-match

commit 1c27f1fc1549f0e470429f5497a76ad28a37f21a upstream.

Commit 6c77676645ad ("iov_iter: Fix iter_xarray_get_pages{,_alloc}()")
introduced a problem on some 32-bit architectures (at least arm, xtensa,
csky,sparc and mips), that have a 'size_t' that is 'unsigned int'.

The reason is that we now do

    min(nr * PAGE_SIZE - offset, maxsize);

where 'nr' and 'offset' and both 'unsigned int', and PAGE_SIZE is
'unsigned long'.  As a result, the normal C type rules means that the
first argument to 'min()' ends up being 'unsigned long'.

In contrast, 'maxsize' is of type 'size_t'.

Now, 'size_t' and 'unsigned long' are always the same physical type in
the kernel, so you'd think this doesn't matter, and from an actual
arithmetic standpoint it doesn't.

But on 32-bit architectures 'size_t' is commonly 'unsigned int', even if
it could also be 'unsigned long'.  In that situation, both are unsigned
32-bit types, but they are not the *same* type.

And as a result 'min()' will complain about the distinct types (ignore
the "pointer types" part of the error message: that's an artifact of the
way we have made 'min()' check types for being the same):

  lib/iov_iter.c: In function 'iter_xarray_get_pages':
  include/linux/minmax.h:20:35: error: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast [-Werror]
     20 |         (!!(sizeof((typeof(x) *)1 == (typeof(y) *)1)))
        |                                   ^~
  lib/iov_iter.c:1464:16: note: in expansion of macro 'min'
   1464 |         return min(nr * PAGE_SIZE - offset, maxsize);
        |                ^~~

This was not visible on 64-bit architectures (where we always define
'size_t' to be 'unsigned long').

Force these cases to use 'min_t(size_t, x, y)' to make the type explicit
and avoid the issue.

[ Nit-picky note: technically 'size_t' doesn't have to match 'unsigned
  long' arithmetically. We've certainly historically seen environments
  with 16-bit address spaces and 32-bit 'unsigned long'.

  Similarly, even in 64-bit modern environments, 'size_t' could be its
  own type distinct from 'unsigned long', even if it were arithmetically
  identical.

  So the above type commentary is only really descriptive of the kernel
  environment, not some kind of universal truth for the kinds of wild
  and crazy situations that are allowed by the C standard ]
