The function is called from 64bit io handlers, and bytes is just passed
to throttle_account() which is 64bit too (unsigned though). So, let's
convert intermediate argument to 64bit too.

My audit for this patch:

Caller has 32-bit, this patch now causes widening which is safe:
block/block-backend.c: blk_do_preadv() passes 'unsigned int'
block/block-backend.c: blk_do_pwritev_part() passes 'unsigned int'
block/throttle.c: throttle_co_pwrite_zeroes() passes 'int'
block/throttle.c: throttle_co_pdiscard() passes 'int'

Caller has 64-bit, this patch fixes potential bug where pre-patch could narrow, except it's easy enough to trace that callers are still capped at 2G actions:
block/throttle.c: throttle_co_preadv() passes 'uint64_t'
block/throttle.c: throttle_co_pwritev() passes 'uint64_t'

Implementation in question: block/throttle-groups.c throttle_group_co_io_limits_intercept() takes 'unsigned int bytes' and uses it:
argument to util/throttle.c throttle_account(uint64_t)

All safe: it patches a latent bug, and does not introduce any 64-bit gotchas once throttle_co_p{read,write}v are relaxed, and assuming throttle_account() is not buggy.

Should I add this all to commit message?

It never hurts to provide such rationale ;)
