lvmetad: fix mda offset/size overflow if >= 4g (32bit)

When reading an info about MDAs from lvmetad, we need to use 64 bit
int to read the value of the offset/size, otherwise the value is
overflows and then it's used throughout!

This is dangerous if we're trying to write such metadata area then,
mostly visible if we're using 2 mdas where the 2nd one is at the end
of the underlying device and hence the value of the mda offset is
high enough to cause problems:

(the offset trimmed to value of 0 instead of 4096m, so we write
at the very start of the disk (or elsewhere if the offset has
some other value!)
