->i_ino is long. It can't hold i_pos fully on 32bit arch, so we can't
use ->i_no to store i_pos, and changing ->i_ino is unnecessary. If
getattr() returned i_pos as ino, nobody see ->i_ino anymore except
internal of kernel.

Furthermore I think there is no issue even if server and client didn't
have same ino. Because client just uses FH (nfs4 seems to be using
stat.ino though).
