[patch] ioctl BLKGETSIZE64 fix

From: Coywolf Qi Hunt

Hello,

Two years ago, "[PATCH] use size_t for the broken ioctl numbers" brought in the problem.
<http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/9/7/14> (also FYI: <https://lwn.net/Articles/48360/>)

The patch below fixes the bug on BLKGETSIZE64. typeof(size_t) == 32, but we expect 64.
The choice of `size_t' is also a mistake. We should have taken `int'. This also affects
userland linux-kernel-headers.

Or am I missing something? Thanks.
