We are generally moving to int64_t for both offset and bytes parameters
on all io paths. Convert tracked requests now.
As mentioned elsewhere in the thread, this states 'what' but not 'why'; adding
a bit more of the 'why' can be useful when revisiting this commit in the future.

unsigned values have defined wraparound semantics, signed values have a lower
maximum and require careful handling to avoid undefined overflow. So we have to
check all clients for any surprises.

Risky if adding req->bytes could ever overflow 63 bits but still fit in 64
bits, but I couldn't find any way to trigger that. I think we're safe because the
block layer never calls a driver's .pwrite_zeroes with a bytes that would overflow
63 bits.

Perhaps that function should be changed to return int64_t, but probably as a
different patch in the series (I didn't read ahead yet to see if you already
did).
