GCC 7 has a known bug where UBSAN ignores '-fwrapv' and generates false
signed-overflow-UB warnings.  The type mismatch between 'i' and
'nr_segs' in copy_compat_iovec_from_user() is causing such a warning,
which also happens to violate uaccess rules:

  lib/iov_iter.o: warning: objtool: iovec_from_user()+0x22d: call to 
__ubsan_handle_add_overflow() with UACCESS enabled

Fix it by making the variable types match.

This is similar to a previous commit:

  29da93fea3ea ("mm/uaccess: Use 'unsigned long' to placate UBSAN warnings on 
older GCC versions")
