vfs: inode lock breakup

[Dave Chinner]

Hi Al,

The following patches are the inode_lock breakup series originally
derived from Nick Piggin's vfs-scale tree. I've kind of been sitting
on them until the dcache_lock breakup and rcu path-walk has had some
time to be shaken out. The patch Ñet is pretty much unchanged from
the last round of review last last year - all I've done to bring it
up to date is forward port it and run it through some testing on XFS
and ext4.

I know it's late in the .39 merge window, but I hope you'll consider
it if the patches are still acceptable(*). Otherwise I'm happy to take
the time to get it right for .40.

Cheers,

Dave.
