Allow a lock type to specifiy whether it makes use of the LVB. The only type
which does this right now is the meta data lock. This should save us some
space on network messages since they won't have to needlessly transmit value
blocks.

There is extremely little difference between the two now. We can remove the
callback from ocfs2_lock_res_ops as well.

This was always defined to the same function in all locks, so clean things
up by removing and passing ocfs2_unlock_ast() directly to the DLM.

Use of the refresh mechanism is lock-type wide, so move knowledge of that to
the ocfs2_lock_res_ops structure.

OCFS2 puts inode meta data in the "lock value block" provided by the DLM.
Typically, i_generation is encoded in the lock name so that a deleted inode
on and a new one in the same block don't share the same lvb.
Unfortunately, that scheme means that the read in ocfs2_read_locked_inode()
is potentially thrown away as soon as the meta data lock is taken - we
cannot encode the lock name without first knowing i_generation, which
requires a disk read.
This patch encodes i_generation in the inode meta data lvb, and removes the
value from the inode meta data lock name. This way, the read can be covered
by a lock, and at the same time we can distinguish between an up to date and
a stale LVB.
This will help cold-cache stat(2) performance in particular.
Since this patch changes the protocol version, we take the opportunity to do
a minor re-organization of two of the LVB fields.

When i_generation is removed from the lockname, this will help us determine
whether a meta data lvb has information that is in sync with the local
struct inode.

lvb_version doesn't need to be a whole 32 bits. Make it an 8 bit field to
free up some space. This should be backwards compatible until we use one of
the fields, in which case we'd bump the lvb version anyway.

Replace the dentry vote mechanism with a cluster lock which covers a set
of dentries. This allows us to force d_delete() only on nodes which actually
care about an unlink.
Every node that does a ->lookup() gets a read only lock on the dentry, until
an unlink during which the unlinking node, will request an exclusive lock,
forcing the other nodes who care about that dentry to d_delete() it. The
effect is that we retain a very lightweight ->d_revalidate(), and at the
same time get to make large improvements to the average case performance of
the ocfs2 unlink and rename operations.
This patch adds the cluster lock type which OCFS2 can attach to
dentries. A small number of fs/ocfs2/dcache.c functions are stubbed
out so that this change can compile.

File system lock names are very regular right now, so we really only need to
pass an extra parameter to dlmlock().

Get rid of osb->uuid, osb->proc_sub_dir, and osb->osb_id. Those fields were
unused, or could easily be removed. As a result, we also no longer need
MAX_OSB_ID or ocfs2_globals_lock.

locking init cleanups:
- convert " = SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED" to spin_lock_init() or DEFINE_SPINLOCK()
- convert rwlocks in a similar manner
this patch was generated automatically.
Motivation:
- cleanliness
- lockdep needs control of lock initialization, which the open-coded
variants do not give
- it's also useful for -rt and for lock debugging in general

This is a conversion to make the various file_operations structs in fs/
const. Basically a regexp job, with a few manual fixups
The goal is both to increase correctness (harder to accidentally write to
shared datastructures) and reducing the false sharing of cachelines with
things that get dirty in .data (while .rodata is nicely read only and thus
cache clean)
