Long and int have different sizes on a 64-bit machine. Allocate
memory for the time_in_state table using the right data type.

Please don't put this crud in patches you submit upstream.  It means
nothing to us.

This is not the correct way to submit patches for inclusion in the
stable kernel tree.  Please read Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt
