Subject: [PATCH 1/6] mbcache2: Reimplement mbcache

Original mbcache was designed to have more features than what ext?
filesystems ended up using. It supported entry being in more hashes, it
had a home-grown rwlocking of each entry, and one cache could cache
entries from multiple filesystems. This genericity also resulted in more
complex locking, larger cache entries, and generally more code
complexity.

This is reimplementation of the mbcache functionality to exactly fit the
purpose ext? filesystems use it for. Cache entries are now considerably
smaller (7 instead of 13 longs), the code is considerably smaller as
well (432 vs 913 lines of code), and IMO also simpler. The new code is
also much more lightweight.

I have measured the speed using artificial xattr-bench benchmark, which
spawns P processes, each process sets xattr for F different files, and
the value of xattr is randomly chosen from a pool of V values. Averages
of runtimes for 5 runs for various combinations of parameters are below.
The first value in each cell is old mbache, the second value is the new
mbcache.

We see that the new code is faster in pretty much all the cases and
starting from 4 processes there are significant gains with the new code
resulting in upto 20-times shorter runtimes. Also for large numbers of
cached entries all values for the old code could not be measured as the
kernel started hitting softlockups and died before the test completed.
