[PATCH] ARC: make sure instruction_pointer() returns unsigned value

Currently instruction_pointer() returns pt_regs->ret and so return value is of type "long", which implicitly stands for "signed long". While that's perfectly fine when dealing with 32-bit values if return value of instruction_pointer() gets assigned to 64-bit variable sign extension may happen. A
