Pin linter version to v1.61.0 in the build workflow

By default, the linter uses the latest version, which is currently v1.62.0.
In v1.62.0, a new `max-public-structs` linter was added.
Significant changes are required in our codebase to enable this linter.

This PR also aligns the linter version with the one specified in the Makefile target.
