Subject: [PATCH] x86/microcode/intel: Use 64-bit arithmetic instead of 32-bit

Add suffix ULL to constant 1024 in order to give the compiler complete
information about the proper arithmetic to use. Notice that this
constant is used in a context that expects an expression of type
u64 (64 bits, unsigned).

The expression c->x86_cache_size * 1024 is currently being evaluated
using 32-bit arithmetic.
