Since commit 72deb455b5ec ("block: remove CONFIG_LBDAF") sector_t and
blkcnt_t types are no longer variable in size, making them unsuitable
examples for casting to the largest possible type. This patch replaces
such examples with cycles_t and blk_status_t types, whose sizes depend
on architecture and config options respectively.

+ printk("test: latency: %llu cycles\n", (unsigned long long)time);
Reminder: sizeof() returns type size_t.
