Subject: [PATCH] (updated) Fix nfs_compat_user_ino64 so it doesn't cause problems if bit 31 or 63 are set in filei

The problem was use of an int32, which when converted to a uint64
is sign extended resulting in a fileid that doesn't fit in 32 bits
even though the intent of the function is to fit the fileid into
32 bits.
