Merge branch 'master' into for-linus-merged

This merge pulls the XFS master branch into the latest Linus master.
This results in a merge conflict whose best fix is not obvious.
I manually fixed the conflict, in "fs/xfs/xfs_iget.c".

Dave Chinner had done work that resulted in RCU freeing of inodes
separate from what Nick Piggin had done, and their results differed
slightly in xfs_inode_free(). The fix updates Nick's call_rcu()
with the use of VFS_I(), while incorporating needed updates to some
XFS inode fields implemented in Dave's series. Dave's RCU callback
function has also been removed.

xfs: remove all the inodes on a buffer from the AIL in bulk

When inode buffer IO completes, usually all of the inodes are removed from the
AIL. This involves processing them one at a time and taking the AIL lock once
for every inode. When all CPUs are processing inode IO completions, this causes
excessive amount sof contention on the AIL lock.

Instead, change the way we process inode IO completion in the buffer
IO done callback. Allow the inode IO done callback to walk the list
of IO done callbacks and pull all the inodes off the buffer in one
go and then process them as a batch.

Once all the inodes for removal are collected, take the AIL lock
once and do a bulk removal operation to minimise traffic on the AIL
lock.

xfs: bulk AIL insertion during transaction commit

xfs: bulk AIL insertion during transaction commit

When inserting items into the AIL from the transaction committed
callbacks, we take the AIL lock for every single item that is to be
inserted. For a CIL checkpoint commit, this can be tens of thousands
of individual inserts, yet almost all of the items will be inserted
at the same point in the AIL because they have the same index.

To reduce the overhead and contention on the AIL lock for such
operations, introduce a "bulk insert" operation which allows a list
of log items with the same LSN to be inserted in a single operation
via a list splice. To do this, we need to pre-sort the log items
being committed into a temporary list for insertion.

The complexity is that not every log item will end up with the same
LSN, and not every item is actually inserted into the AIL. Items
that don't match the commit LSN will be inserted and unpinned as per
the current one-at-a-time method (relatively rare), while items that
are not to be inserted will be unpinned and freed immediately. Items
that are to be inserted at the given commit lsn are placed in a
temporary array and inserted into the AIL in bulk each time the
array fills up.

As a result of this, we trade off AIL hold time for a significant
reduction in traffic. lock_stat output shows that the worst case
hold time is unchanged, but contention from AIL inserts drops by an
order of magnitude and the number of lock traversal decreases
significantly.
