[gpsd-users] gpsd memory fault on 32 bit machine with debug>=4

Before the fix, sample PPS Logs:
gpsd:PROG: KPPS:/dev/pps0 Clear cycle: -1236963952, duration: 1000000 @ (null)
gpsd:PROG: PPS:/dev/pps0 Clear cycle:       0, duration: 1000000 @ (null)

With this fix, we see logs like this:
gpsd:PROG: KPPS:/dev/pps0 Clear cycle: 1000010, duration:  100003 @  
1577729345.554599378
gpsd:PROG: PPS:/dev/pps0 Clear cycle: 1000010, duration:  100003 @  
1577729345.554599378

When the system clock changes without this fix, and the
debug level is 4 or greater, GPSD crashes on 32 bit ARM.
This fix prevents strlen() in vfprintf() from being given
a garbage pointer.  cycle, cycle_kpps, duration and
duration_kpps are defined as long long, so by the C
standard, the format string is %lld.

patch is for 3.16.
