Johannes Berg 267ed02c21 hostfs: fix dev_t handling
dev_t is a kernel type and may have different definitions
in kernel and userspace. On 32-bit x86 this currently makes
the stat structure being 4 bytes longer in the user code,
causing stack corruption.

However, this is (potentially) not the only problem, since
dev_t is a different type on user/kernel side, so we don't
know that the major/minor encoding isn't also different.
Decode/encode it instead to address both problems.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
