VFS: Convert abuses of sector_t

[Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no>]

From: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

The type "sector_t" is heavily tied in to the block layer interface as an
offset/handle to a block, and is subject to a supposedly block-specific
configuration option: CONFIG_LBD. Despite this, it is used in struct
kstatfs to save a couple of bytes on the stack whenever we call the
filesystems' ->statfs().

One consequence is that networked filesystems may break if CONFIG_LBD is
not set, since it is quite common to have multi-TB remote filesystems.

The following patch just converts struct kstatfs to use the standard type u64.
