x86/idle: Standardize argument types for MONITOR{,X} and MWAIT{,X} instruction wrappers on 'u32'



MONITOR and MONITORX expect 32-bit unsigned integer arguments in the %ecx
and %edx registers. MWAIT and MWAITX expect 32-bit usigned int
argument in %eax and %ecx registers.

Some of the helpers around these instructions in <asm/mwait.h> are using
too wide types (long), standardize on u32 instead that makes it clear that
this is a hardware ABI.
