[procps] [PATCH] Fix "free -b" on 32-bit machine with lots of swap

Hi,
On my i386 machine with 6G of swap, the "free -b" test fails, because
the "swap total" field wraps at 4G -- there's a cast in the wrong place
in free.c which means it's doing a "long" multiplication rather than a
"long long" one. Patch attached.
