[PATCH v4] staging: lustre: Replace 'uint32_t' with 'u32' and 'uint64_t' with 'u64'

There are two reasons for replacing 'uint32_t' with 'u32'
and 'uint64_t' with 'u64':

1) As Linus Torvalds have said we should use kernel types:
http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail//linux/kernel/1506.0/00160.html

2) There are only few places in the lustre codebase that use such types.
In the most cases it uses 'u32' and 'u64'.

In the third version of that patch Dan Carpenter pointed out that the patch
body should be self-explanatory:
"
> There are two reasons for that:
What I'm asking is there are two reasons for what?  Where is the first
part of that paragraph?
"

In the second version of this patch I forgot to add subsystem and
driver. As Greg K-H mentioned:
"Please fix up the subject to have the subsystem and driver name in it:
        Subject: [PATCH] staging: lustre: ..."

In the first version of this patch I replaced 'uint32_t' with '__u32' and
'uint64_t' with '__u64'. I was suggested to fix that by Greg K-H:

"The __ types are only needed for when you cross the user/kernel boundry.
Otherwise just use the "normal" types of u32 and u64.

Do the changes you made here all cross that boundry?  If not, please fix
this up."

I asked lustre community whether those code used only in the kernel
space and Andreas Dilger said:

"These headers are for kernel code only, so should use the "u32" and
similar
types, rather than the "__u32" that are used for user-kernel
structures."

So I have replaced my first patch version with this one.
