Subject: [PATCH 1/1] Fix SystemTap dtrace warning for smgr probe argument
 types

Commits ca326e903d and 1f8c504e308 widened the byte-count arguments of
smgr__md__read__done and smgr__md__write__done to "long long int".
SystemTap's dtrace(1) pyparsing grammar rejects that multi-word type and
falls back with a warning (misreported near the previous probe).  Use
"long" instead, which matches ssize_t on our LP64 DTrace platforms and
is already used elsewhere in probes.d.
