UML/man: BLKGETSIZE takes a long, not an int

[Nicolas George]

Hi.

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.

Regards,
