Fix SystemTap dtrace warning about smgr probe argument types.
Commits
ca326e903 and
1f8c504e3 widened the byte-count arguments of
smgr__md__read__done and smgr__md__write__done to "long long int".
SystemTap's dtrace(1) fails on that specific spelling and falls back
with a warning (misreported near the previous probe). Use ssize_t
and size_t instead, matching the md.c call sites.
Revise probes.d's note about which types are usable as probe
arguments: recommend using system-supplied type names (macOS dtrace
rejects names like PostgreSQL's uint64), and call out "long long int"
as a known SystemTap failure case rather than a wider failure mode.
Also, update the monitoring.sgml entries for these probes,
which were missed by the prior commits.
