[PATCH] debugfs: add sanity check to make sure we never shift 64 bits right

[Theodore Ts'o]

In the tables which are used to parse the fields for the set_fields
command, there should never be a entry which has a size set to 8
bytes, and two pointers defined.  Not only would it result in
undefined behavior in the compiled code, it doesn't make any sense and
is definitely a bug.
