The BLKSSZGET ioctl takes an argument which is a pointer to an int.
We were incorrectly declaring it to take a pointer to a long, which
meant that we would incorrectly write to memory which we should not
if the guest is a 64-bit architecture.

In particular, kpartx uses this ioctl to write to an int on the
stack, which tends to result in it crashing immediately.
