Currently rq->fifo_time is unsigned long but CFQ stores nanosecond timestamp in it which would overflow on 32-bit archs. Convert it to u64 to avoid the overflow. Since the rq->fifo_time is unioned with struct call_single_data(), this does not change the size of struct request in any way. We have to slightly fixup block/deadline-iosched.c so that comparison happens in the right types.
