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.
