patch: linux-2.6.4/lib/int_sqrt.c long aware

[WHarms]

hi list,
this patch make int_sqrt() handle long properly. i tested it
on my alpha and i386. also some comparision again an alternativ int_sqrt() code.
The placement (and using) of 'tmp' is a bit odd but faster (on alpha, no matter on i386).

happy hacking,
walter

ps: i must use c&p so be aware of possible tab->space translations
