Subject: fs: break out inode LRU operations from inode_lock V2

Hi Al,

The following patches break the inode LRU operations and the first
half of iput_final() out from under the inode_lock.  The patches
should apply to your current merge-stem tree.

Version 2:
- make i_state checks/__iget() atomic under inode->i_lock
- merge dispose_one_inode() into evict()
- move inode hash removal after ->evict_inode call.
- always take the inode_lru_lock() when checking whether the inode
  is on the lru or not.
