[PATCH 10/14] PMFS: Fix two bugs in pmfs_update_time_and_size()

From: Matthew Wilcox <willy at linux.intel.com>

cmpxchg_double_local() wants compatible types, so read i_size into a
local little-endian temporary.  This fixes a bug on big-endian systems,
since it would write a non-byteswapped value to pi->i_size.  It also
fixes a consistency bug on 32-bit systems as reading i_size without
using i_size_read() is dangerous.
