[LTP] [PATCH] float_exp_log: Fix ldexp exponents written by genldexp

[Jan Stancek via ltp]

genldexp stores the ldexp() exponents in a double array but writes
only sizeof(int) bytes of each element to ildexp_inp.ref. For a double
holding a small integer the low 32 bits of the IEEE-754 encoding are
zero, so on little-endian every exponent read back by the test is 0 and
ldexp(x, 0) == x is the only thing float_exp_log ever checks. On
big-endian the exponents are garbage from the high word instead.

Declare the exponent array as int so the intended 20000..1 exponents
are written and the ldexp threads exercise real scaling. Large exponents
overflow to inf for both the generated and computed value, which
check_error() already treats as equal.
