Subject: [PATCH v2 0/7] vfs: Use dlock list for SB's s_inodes list

v1->v2:
 - Add a set of simple per-subnode APIs that is between percpu and
   per-node in granularity.
 - Make dlock list to use the per-subnode APIs so as to reduce the
   total number of separate linked list that needs to be managed
   and iterated.
 - There is no change in patches 1-5.

This is a follow up of the following patchset:

  [PATCH v7 0/4] vfs: Use per-cpu list for SB's s_inodes list
  https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/4/12/1009

The main change is the renaming of percpu list to dlock list, as
suggested by Christoph Lameter. It also adds a new patch from Boqun
Feng to add the __percpu modifier for parameters.

Patch 1 introduces the dlock list.

Patch 2 adds the __percpu modifier to the appropriate parameters.

Patch 3 cleans up the fsnotify_unmount_inodes() function by making
the code simpler and more standard.

Patch 4 replaces the use of list_for_each_entry_safe() in
evict_inodes() and invalidate_inodes() by list_for_each_entry().

Patch 5 modifies the superblock and inode structures to use the dlock
list. The corresponding functions that reference those structures
are modified.

Patch 6 adds a new set of per-subnode APIs that allow distributed
resources with a granularity that is in between a per-cpu and per-node
systems.

Patch 7 modifies the dlock list to use the new per-subnode APIs so
that it will have less linked lists to manage and iterate compared
with the per-cpu version.
