Bluetooth: hci_core: Fix inquiry cache timestamps on 64-bit systems

On 64-bit systems, outgoing BR/EDR connections always fall back to page
scan repetition mode R2 with no clock offset once the system has been
up for more than five minutes, even when inquiry found the peer only
seconds earlier. This lengthens paging and can increase the risk of a
Page Timeout.

The inquiry cache stores jiffies in __u32 timestamps, but its age
helpers subtract them from unsigned long jiffies. INITIAL_JIFFIES casts
-300 * HZ through unsigned int, so jiffies crosses 2^32 five minutes
after boot on 64-bit systems. Assigning it to __u32 then drops the upper
32 bits. In one trace, a 7.6-second-old entry (HZ=1000) was reported as
2^32 + 7620 ticks old and rejected by hci_acl_create_conn_sync().
hci_inquiry() is affected by the same truncation when checking the whole
cache. 32-bit systems are unaffected because unsigned long is 32 bits
wide there.

Use unsigned long for both timestamps so they have the same width as
jiffies on 32-bit and 64-bit systems, and update the debugfs format
specifier accordingly.
