[PATCH 1/3] new_inode_autonum: add per-sb lastino counter and add new_inode_autonum function that guarantees i_ino uniqueness

[Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com>]

- add a new per superblock s_nextino counter and change iunique to use it
  instead of its global inode counter
- make the size of the counter conditional on CONFIG_COMPAT. This is to try
  prevent userspace EOVERFLOWs when 32-bit programs not compiled with large
  offsets are run on 64-bit kernels
- add new_inode_autonum which guarantees that i_ino is assigned a unique val
  on the filesystem.
- Change new_inode to assign i_ino to 0 to catch filesystems that use it and
  don't reset it to a unique value.
