ioctl_ns.2, stat.2: Fix signedness of printf specifiers
These variables are either of an unsigned integer type per POSIX;
or of an integer type per POSIX, that Linux defines as an unsigned integer type.
Print them with 'uintmax_t' instead of 'intmax_t' to avoid
big positive numbers being printed as negative numbers.
Bug report:

inode numbers are expected to be positive. Casting them to a signed type
may result in printing negative values. E.g. running example program on
the following file:
$ ls -li test.txt
9280843260537405888 -r--r--r-- 1 kbukin hardware 300 Jul 21 06:36 test.txt
results in the following output:
$ ./example test.txt
ID of containing device: [0,480]
File type: regular file
I-node number: -9165900813172145728
Mode: 100444 (octal)
Link count: 1
Ownership: UID=2743 GID=30
Preferred I/O block size: 32768 bytes
File size: 300 bytes
Blocks allocated: 8

Such erroneous reporting happens for inode values greater than maximum
value which can be stored in signed long. Casting does not seem to be
necessary here. Printing inode as unsigned long fixes the issue.
