[PATCH] [UML] fix mknod

[Johannes Stezenbach <js@linuxtv.org>]

Hi,

I was playing with user-mode Linux and found that mknod creates
devices node in hostfs with wrong major/minor numbers.
The patch below fixes it for me.

mknod() is broken on UML because userspace has differernt
dev_t size and encoding than kernel.
