It's only used in 1 small section of ext2fs/unix_io.c that is for very large filesystems - but rather than just commenting it out, I rewrote it using an unsigned 32-bit type that the ARM supported.

Modifying e2fsprogs 1.42.7 to use 'usigned long long' instead of
'__uint64_t' fixes the compile issue on arm for me although I haven't
yet checked if this change is pushed upstream or if it's really correct.

They *should* be the same type and the compiler built in CLFS embedded
should be supporting 64 bit unsigned integer types.
