tmpfs: support 64-bit inums per-sb
The default is still set to inode32 for backwards compatibility, but
system administrators can opt in to the new 64-bit inode numbers by
either:
1. Passing inode64 on the command line when mounting, or
2. Configuring the kernel with CONFIG_TMPFS_INODE64=y
The inode64 and inode32 names are used based on existing precedent from
XFS.
