[libvirt] [RFC v2] virfile: fix cast-align error

On s390x the struct member f_type of statsfs is hard coded to
'unsigned int'. So let's try to determine the type by means of the GNU
extension typeof.

This fixes the following error:
../../src/util/virfile.c:3578:38: error: cast increases required alignment of target type [-Werror=cast-align]
         virFileIsSharedFixFUSE(path, (long *) &sb.f_type);
