[PATCH, v2] numactl: fix libnuma on big-endian 64-bit systems

The read-mask function assumes that it is running in 32-bit mode,
by addressing the bitmask as a series of int values, instead of
longs. This is broken as can easily be reproduced by running numademo
on a bit-endian 64-bit system.
Changing the addressing to use 'long' values fixes the problem.
