Subject: [PATCH 16/18] fs: Make iunique independent of inode_lock

From: Nick Piggin <npiggin@...e.de>

Before removing the inode_lock, the iunique counter needs to be made
independent of the inode_lock. Add a new lock to protect the iunique
counter and nest it inside the inode_lock to provide the same
protection that the inode_lock currently provides.
