defined as "unsigned int" instead of "int".
Change its type to "unsigned int".

The IA32_PASID MSR (0xd93) contains the Process Address Space Identifier
(PASID), a 20-bit value. Bit 31 must be set to indicate the value
programmed in the MSR is valid. Hardware uses PASID to identify process
address space and direct responses to the right address space.

PASID is defined as "int" although it's a 20-bit value and shouldn't be
negative int. To be consistent with type defined in iommu, define PASID
as "unsigned int".

PASID is defined as a few different types in iommu including "int",

No PASID type change in uapi.

PASID is shared by all threads in a process. So the logical place to keep
track of it is in the "mm". Both ARM and X86 need to use the PASID in the
"mm".
