Here is the updated patch which uses __kernel_long_t only if
__BITS_PER_LONG == 64.

Subject: [PATCH] Use __kernel_long_t in struct msgbuf

X32 msgsnd/msgrcv system calls are the same as x86-64 msgsnd/msgrcv system
calls, which use 64-bit integer for long in struct msgbuf . But x32 long
is 32 bit. This patch replaces long in struct msgbuf with __kernel_long_t
if __BITS_PER_LONG == 64.
