I do not think that this a problem, and Coverity could be a bit smarter
there.

The ino variable is 64bit, but why is it worrysome to compare it with a
32 bit value ?   We want to limit the value to the max possible inode
number but still keep it type-correct.

In fact, the ino value is initialized from 32bit struct ufid ufid_ino,
so Coverity could understand that and shut down the warning for formal
reasons.
