Up to maintainer, but personally I think the simple s/int/long/ looks better.
Everything like get_mm_*/nr_ptes returns long.
Anyway good catch. Imho stable needs the fix too.
Cosmetic nit,

^^^^^
Why do we need the explicit typecast? It buys nothing and looks a bit confusing.
And, if you prefer "int", perhaps something like
- points *= 1000;
- points /= totalpages;
+ /* avoid the possible overflow */
+ points = points * 1000L / totalpages;
looks a bit more readable with the same effect. But I won't insist, this is
up to you and David.
