From: Tao Cui <cuitao@kylinos.cn>

blkcg_fill_root_iostats() converts per-CPU sector counts to bytes with

    tmp.bytes[BLKG_IOSTAT_READ] += cpu_dkstats->sectors[STAT_READ] << 9;

but disk_stats.sectors is `unsigned long`, and the shift is carried out in
that type before the result is promoted to the u64 accumulator.  On 32-bit
kernels (unsigned long is 32 bits) this wraps, so once a per-CPU counter
reaches 2**23 sectors (~4 GiB) the computed byte count is wrong, corrupting
the root cgroup's io.stat.

Every other sector->byte conversion in the tree casts to a wide type first
((loff_t)sectors << SECTOR_SHIFT in bdev.c, (u64)max_sectors << SECTOR_SHIFT
in blk-settings.c); do the same here.
