Subject: [PATCH] tools/perf: Fix the mask in regs_dump__printf

When decoding the perf_regs mask in regs_dump__printf(),
we loop through the mask using find_first_bit and find_next_bit functions.
And mask is of type "u64". But "u64" is send as a "unsigned long *" to
lib functions along with sizeof().

While the exisitng code works fine in most of the case, when using a
32bit perf on a 64bit kernel (Big Endian), we end up reading the wrong word
in the u64 mask. Patch to fix the mask in regs_dump__printf().
