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.
