If HAVE_JSON_U64=1, utils/json.c:display_hex() can call json_object_get_int64() on a struct json_object created with json_object_new_uint64(). In the context of 'ndctl list --regions --human', this results in a static value of 0x7fffffffffffffff being displayed for iset_id, as seen in #217.
Correct hex values are observed with the use of json_object_get_uint64(). To support builds against older json-c, use a new static inline function util_json_get_u64() to fallback to json_object_get_int64() if HAVE_JSON_U64=0.
Link: #217
Fixes: 691cd24 ("json: Add support for json_object_new_uint64()")
We observed the 0x7fffffffffffffff value while testing NVDIMMS with RHEL9.2 and RHEL9.3, ndctl version 71.1
