acct: fix accuracy loss for input value of encode_comp_t()

Patch series "Fix encode_comp_t()".

Type conversion in encode_comp_t() may look a bit problematic.


This patch (of 2):

See calculation of ac_{u,s}time in fill_ac():
  > ac->ac_utime = encode_comp_t(nsec_to_AHZ(pacct->ac_utime));
  > ac->ac_stime = encode_comp_t(nsec_to_AHZ(pacct->ac_stime));

Return value of nsec_to_AHZ() is always type of 'u64', but it is handled
as type of 'unsigned long' in encode_comp_t, and accuracy loss would
happen on 32-bit platform when 'unsigned long' value is 32-bit-width.

So 'u64' value of encode_comp_t() may look better.
