Subject: [RESEND PATCH 5/5] vfs: Use dlock list for superblock's inode list

When many threads are trying to add or delete inode to or from
a superblock's s_inodes list, spinlock contention on the list can
become a performance bottleneck.

This patch changes the s_inodes field to become a dlock list which
is a distributed set of lists with per-list spinlocks.  As a result,
the following superblock inode list (sb->s_inodes) iteration functions
in vfs are also being modified:

 1. iterate_bdevs()
 2. drop_pagecache_sb()
 3. wait_sb_inodes()
 4. evict_inodes()
 5. invalidate_inodes()
 6. fsnotify_unmount_inodes()
 7. add_dquot_ref()
 8. remove_dquot_ref()

With an exit microbenchmark that creates a large number of threads,
attachs many inodes to them and then exits. The runtimes of that
microbenchmark with 1000 threads before and after the patch on a
4-socket Intel E7-4820 v3 system (40 cores, 80 threads) were as
follows:

  Kernel            Elapsed Time    System Time
  ------            ------------    -----------
  Vanilla 4.5-rc4      65.29s         82m14s
  Patched 4.5-rc4      22.81s         23m03s

Before the patch, spinlock contention at the inode_sb_list_add()
function at the startup phase and the inode_sb_list_del() function at
the exit phase were about 79% and 93% of total CPU time respectively
(as measured by perf). After the patch, the percpu_list_add()
function consumed only about 0.04% of CPU time at startup phase. The
percpu_list_del() function consumed about 0.4% of CPU time at exit
phase. There were still some spinlock contention, but they happened
elsewhere.
