[PATCH v2 001/110] vfs: introduce kino_t typedef and PRIino format macro

[Jeff Layton]

Introduce a kino_t typedef and PRIino format macro to enable a
bisect-clean transition of i_ino from unsigned long to u64.

kino_t is initially defined as unsigned long (matching the original
i_ino type), and PRIino is "l" (the format length modifier for
unsigned long). A later patch will change these to u64 and "ll"
respectively once all format strings have been updated to use PRIino.

The PRIino macro is a length modifier, not a complete format specifier.
It is used as: "%" PRIino "u" for decimal, "%" PRIino "x" for hex, etc.
This follows the pattern used by userspace PRIu64/PRIx64 macros.

Format strings using i_ino should be updated to use PRIino instead of
a hard-coded length modifier to ensure warning-free compilation on
both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures throughout the transition.
