Btrfs: Always use 64bit inode number
There's a potential problem in 32bit system when we exhaust 32bit inode numbers and start to allocate big inode numbers, because btrfs uses inode->i_ino in many places. So here we always use BTRFS_I(inode)->location.objectid, which is an u64 variable. There are 2 exceptions that BTRFS_I(inode)->location.objectid != inode->i_ino: the btree inode (0 vs 1) and empty subvol dirs (256 vs 2), and inode->i_ino will be used in those cases. Another reason to make this change is I'm going to use a special inode to save free ino cache, and the inode number must be > (u64)-256. Signed-off-by: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com>
