Subject: [PATCH] mke2fs: fix up check for hardlinks always false if inode > 0xFFFFFFFF

While file has a large inode number (> 0xFFFFFFFF), mkfs.ext4 could
not parse hardlink correctly.

Prepare three hardlink files for mkfs.ext4

$ ls -il rootfs_ota/a rootfs_ota/boot/b rootfs_ota/boot/c
11026675846 -rw-r--r-- 3 hjia users 0 Jul 20 17:44 rootfs_ota/a
11026675846 -rw-r--r-- 3 hjia users 0 Jul 20 17:44 rootfs_ota/boot/b
11026675846 -rw-r--r-- 3 hjia users 0 Jul 20 17:44 rootfs_ota/boot/c

$ truncate -s 1M rootfs_ota.ext4

$ mkfs.ext4 -F -i 8192 rootfs_ota.ext4 -L otaroot -U fd5f8768-c779-4dc9-adde-165a3d863349 -d rootfs_ota

$ mkdir mnt && sudo mount rootfs_ota.ext4 mnt

$ ls -il mnt/a mnt/boot/b mnt/boot/c
12 -rw-r--r-- 1 hjia users 0 Jul 20 17:44 mnt/a
14 -rw-r--r-- 1 hjia users 0 Jul 20 17:44 mnt/boot/b
15 -rw-r--r-- 1 hjia users 0 Jul 20 17:44 mnt/boot/c

After applying this fix
$ ls -il mnt/a mnt/boot/b mnt/boot/c
12 -rw-r--r-- 3 hjia users 0 Jul 20 17:44 mnt/a
12 -rw-r--r-- 3 hjia users 0 Jul 20 17:44 mnt/boot/b
12 -rw-r--r-- 3 hjia users 0 Jul 20 17:44 mnt/boot/c

Since commit [382ed4a1 e2fsck: use proper types for variables][1]
applied, it used ext2_ino_t instead of ino_t for referencing inode
numbers, but the type of is_hardlink's `ino' should not be instead,
The ext2_ino_t is 32bit, if inode > 0xFFFFFFFF, its value will be
truncated.

Add a debug printf to show the value of inode, when it check for hardlink
files, it will always return false if inode > 0xFFFFFFFF

Here is debug message:
is_hardlink 608, 2913DB886, 913DB886

The length of ext2_ino_t is 32bit (typedef __u32 __bitwise ext2_ino_t;),
and ino_t is 64bit on 64bit system (such as x86-64), recover `ino' to ino_t.
