dm bufio: make the parameter "retain_bytes" unsigned long
Change the type of the parameter "retain_bytes" from unsigned to unsigned long, so that on 64-bit machines the user can set more than 4GiB of data to be retained. Also, change the type of the variable "count" in the function "__evict_old_buffers" to unsigned long. The assignment "count = c->n_buffers[LIST_CLEAN] + c->n_buffers[LIST_DIRTY];" could result in unsigned long to unsigned overflow and that could result in buffers not being freed when they should. While at it, avoid division in get_retain_buffers(). Division is slow, we can change it to shift because we have precalculated the log2 of block size.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
