[PATCH V2] MIPS: change type of asid_cache to unsigned long

From: Yong Zhang
Date: Wed May 21 2014 - 01:36:21 EST


asid_cache must be unsigned long otherwise on 64bit system
it will become 0 if the value in get_new_mmu_context()
reaches 0xffffffff and in the end the assumption of
ASID_FIRST_VERSION is not true anymore thus leads to
more dangerous things.
