Fix: incorrect rwbs field type in block_bio_queue

Within lttng-modules instrumentation starting from kernel 3.9.0, the
block_bio_queue instrumentation has incorrect rwbs field type, and does
not print "comm" as an array of text.

The result is that we are writing values to what we believe to be an
"unsigned int", which is actually described as an array of RWBS_LEN byte
(8 bytes). This discrepancy between type description and the actual
tp_assign() incrementing the write offset leads to what appears as
corruption of the following "comm" field in the trace viewer output: the
viewer will skip the first bytes of the "comm" field, erroneously
thinking they belong the the previous "rwbs" field.

Fixes #794
