[Committed] S/390: Change struct statfs[64] member types to unsigned


Hi,

I've committed the attached patch implemented by Heiko Carstens:

Kay Sievers reported that coreutils' stat tool has a problem with
s390's statfs[64] definition:

> The definition of struct statfs::f_type needs a fix. s390 is the only
> architecture in the kernel that uses an int and expects magic
> constants lager than INT_MAX to fit into.
>
> A fix is needed to make Fedora boot on s390, it currently fails to do
> so. Userspace does not want to add code to paper-over this issue.

[...]

> Even coreutils cannot handle it:
>   #define RAMFS_MAGIC  0x858458f6
>   # stat -f -c%t /
>   ffffffff858458f6
>
>   #define BTRFS_SUPER_MAGIC 0x9123683E
>   # stat -f -c%t /mnt
>   ffffffff9123683e

The bug is caused by an implicit sign extension within the stat tool:

out_uint_x (pformat, prefix_len, statfsbuf->f_type);

where the format finally will be "%lx".
A similar problem can be found in the 'tail' tool.
s390 is the only architecture which has an int type f_type member in
struct statfs[64]. Other architectures have either unsigned ints or
long values, so that the problem doesn't occur there.

Therefore change the type of the f_type member to unsigned int, so
that we get zero extension instead sign extension when assignment to
a long value happens.
