Previously, calling raw_data_dump() with e.g. len 4 on 64bit systems
would dump 8 bytes anyway, making it hard to tell what one wants to see.

For example, with task_struct.rt_priority a uint32.
before patch:
crash> struct -r task_struct.rt_priority ffff8d9b36186180
ffff8d9b361861dc:  9741dec000000063                    c.....A.

after patch:
crash-patched> struct -r task_struct.rt_priority ffff8d9b36186180
ffff8d9b361861dc:  00000063                              c...

Here's the promised follow-up.

Two remarks:
 - I wasn't sure about an explicit DISPLAY_64 flag, but if we're 32bit
and want to print 8 bytes it is just as likely to be two entities than
a single one so it makes more sense to leave default to me.
 - I wasn't sure on what to do if someone wants to print some odd size,
e.g. 6 bits? Should that be DISPLAY_8 anyway?
I tried on some bitmap and it looks like raw_data_dump is called with 8
anyway even if the bitmap part is less than 8, I'm not sure this can
ever be called with weird values, so probably best left as is.

Thanks!
