Change kino_t from unsigned long to u64, and update PRIino from "l" to "ll" accordingly. This is the actual type widening of i_ino.
All format strings have already been converted to use PRIino, so this change compiles warning-free on both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures. On 64-bit architectures, unsigned long is already 64 bits, so this is effectively a type alias change with no runtime impact. On 32-bit architectures, this widens i_ino from 32 to 64 bits, allowing filesystems like NFS, CIFS, XFS, Ceph, and FUSE to store their native 64-bit inode numbers without folding/hashing. The VFS already handles 64-bit inode numbers in kstat.ino (u64) and statx.stx_ino (__u64). The existing overflow checks in cp_new_stat(), cp_old_stat(), and cp_compat_stat() handle narrowing to 32-bit st_ino with -EOVERFLOW, so userspace ABI is preserved. struct inode will grow by 4 bytes on 32-bit architectures.
