fix mknod and mknodat to accept large dev_t values
support for these was recently added to sysmacros.h. note that the syscall argument is a long, despite dev_t being 64-bit, so on 32-bit archs the high bits will be lost. it appears the high bits are just glibc silliness and not part of the kernel api, anyway, but it's nice that we have them there for future expansion if needed.
