Antonio Borneo 45382d6907 scripts/gdb: fix 'lx-dmesg' on 32 bits arch
[ Upstream commit e3c8d33e0d ]

The type atomic_long_t can have size 4 or 8 bytes, depending on
CONFIG_64BIT; it's only content, the field 'counter', is either an
int or a s64 value.

Current code incorrectly uses the fixed size utils.read_u64() to
read the field 'counter' inside atomic_long_t.

On 32 bits architectures reading the last element 'tail_id' of the
struct prb_desc_ring:
	struct prb_desc_ring {
		...
		atomic_long_t tail_id;
	};
causes the utils.read_u64() to access outside the boundary of the
struct and the gdb command 'lx-dmesg' exits with error:
	Python Exception <class 'IndexError'>: index out of range
	Error occurred in Python: index out of range

Query the really used atomic_long_t counter type size.
