uml: use correct type in BLKGETSIZE ioctl
I found a type mismatch in UML that makes host block devices unusable as ubd
devices on x86_64 and other 64 bits systems (segfault of the mm subsystem):
In block/ioctl.c, the following lines show that the BLKGETSIZE ioctl expects
a pointer to a long:
case BLKGETSIZE:
if ((bdev->bd_inode->i_size >> 9) > ~0UL)
return -EFBIG;
return put_ulong(arg, bdev->bd_inode->i_size >> 9);
In arch/um/os-Linux/file.c, os_file_size calls it with an int.
The ioctl_list man page should be fixed as well.
