Subject: linux-next: manual merge of the vfs-scale tree with the xfs tree

Hi Nick,

Today's linux-next merge of the vfs-scale tree got a conflict in
fs/xfs/xfs_iget.c between commits
d95b7aaf9ab6738bef1ebcc52ab66563085e44ac ("xfs: rcu free inodes") and
1a3e8f3da09c7082d25b512a0ffe569391e4c09a ("xfs: convert inode cache
lookups to use RCU locking") from the xfs tree and commit
bb3e8c37a0af21d0a8fe54a0b0f17aca16335a82 ("fs: icache RCU free inodes")
from the vfs-scale tree.

OK, so looking at this, the first xfs tree patch above does the same as
the vfs-scale tree patch (just using i_dentry instead of the (union
eqivalent) i_rcu.  I fixed it up (see below - the diff does not show that
__xfs_inode_free has been removed) and can carry the fix as necessary.
