[PATCH V3] xfs_io: don't assign cvtnum() return to unsigned var

(whoops meant to include 2 fixes in that)
(argh and fadvise too, I think this is the last one, sorry!)

cvtnum() returns -1LL for unparseable values, but if we
assign to a signed var, we can't test it:

There are problems in fadvise, mincore & madvise.

xfs_io> mincore 0 xxx
range (0:0) is beyond mapping (0:1048576)

For mincore & madvise, se a temporary signed var so we
can detect the error:

xfs_io> mincore 0 xxx
non-numeric length argument -- xxx

and also test whether it may overflow a size_t for
mincore & madvise.

For fadvise, posix_fadvise64 wants an off_t anyway so just
switch to that.
