[PATCH] Fix warning in fs/select.c

[Russell King <rmk+lkml@arm.linux.org.uk>]

fs/select.c: In function `core_sys_select':
fs/select.c:339: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type
fs/select.c:376: warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast

	char *bits;
	long stack_fds[SELECT_STACK_ALLOC/sizeof(long)];
...
		bits = stack_fds;
...
        if (bits != stack_fds)

Fix this warning by calculating the number of longs we need for 'n' fds.
This then allows us to do correct pointer arithmetic with the minimum
of fuss.
