[LTP] [PATCH v2] inode01: Use uint64_t to prevent inode truncation on 32-bit

On 32-bit architectures, ino_t is typically 32-bit, whereas the kernel
and struct stat may support 64-bit inode numbers (e.g. st_ino is
unsigned long long).

The conversion of inode01 to the new API introduced tracking of inodes
in an array of struct inode_info, which used ino_t. This causes 64-bit
inode numbers to be truncated to 32-bit when running as a 32-bit binary
on a filesystem that uses 64-bit inodes.

This truncation can lead to false duplicate inode reports and test
failures.

Fix this by using uint64_t for tracking inode numbers throughout the
test.

v1 -> v2:
 - Also change record_inode() parameter type to uint64_t to prevent truncation before assignment.
