vfs: widen inode hash/lookup functions to u64

Browse source

Change the inode hash/lookup VFS API functions to accept u64 parameters
instead of unsigned long for inode numbers and hash values. This is
preparation for widening i_ino itself to u64, which will allow
filesystems to store full 64-bit inode numbers on 32-bit architectures.

Since unsigned long implicitly widens to u64 on all architectures, this
change is backward-compatible with all existing callers.
