dos partitions are limited to 2^32 sectors. However these do not have to
be 512 byte sectors, which is what device-mapper tables use. kpartx
stores the dos sectors in a 32 uint. This means that on a 4k sector size
device with large enough partitions, when kpartx multiplies the
dos sector count by the sector size multiplier, it can rollover before
it gets stored in 64 bit slice sector count. This patch just changes the
multiplier to a 64 bit uint to match the slice sector count, and avoid
the rollover.
