Subject: [087/264] pnfsblock: fix size of upcall message

3.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jim Rees <rees@...ch.edu>

commit fdc17abbc4b6094b34ee8ff5d91eaba8637594a2 upstream.

Make the status field explicitly 32 bits.  "...it's unlikely that the kernel
and userspace would differ on the size of an int here, but it might be a
good idea to go ahead and make that explicitly 32 bits in case we end up
dealing with more exotic arches at some point in the future."
