Steven Whitehouse feaa7bba02 [GFS2] Fix unlinked file handling
This patch fixes the way we have been dealing with unlinked,
but still open files. It removes all limits (other than memory
for inodes, as per every other filesystem) on numbers of these
which we can support on GFS2. It also means that (like other
fs) its the responsibility of the last process to close the file
to deallocate the storage, rather than the person who did the
unlinking. Note that with GFS2, those two events might take place
on different nodes.

Also there are a number of other changes:

 o We use the Linux inode subsystem as it was intended to be
used, wrt allocating GFS2 inodes
 o The Linux inode cache is now the point which we use for
local enforcement of only holding one copy of the inode in
core at once (previous to this we used the glock layer).
 o We no longer use the unlinked "special" file. We just ignore it
completely. This makes unlinking more efficient.
 o We now use the 4th block allocation state. The previously unused
state is used to track unlinked but still open inodes.
 o gfs2_inoded is no longer needed
 o Several fields are now no longer needed (and removed) from the in
core struct gfs2_inode
 o Several fields are no longer needed (and removed) from the in core
superblock

There are a number of future possible optimisations and clean ups
which have been made possible by this patch.

Steven Whitehouse 320dd101e2 [GFS2] glock debugging and inode cache changes
This adds some extra debugging to glock.c and changes
inode.c's deallocation code to call the debugging code
at a suitable moment. I'm chasing down a particular bug
to do with deallocation at the moment and the code can
go again once the bug is fixed.

Also this includes the first part of some changes to unify
the Linux struct inode and GFS2's struct gfs2_inode. This
transformation will happen in small parts over the next short
period.

This patch contains the following possible cleanups:
- make needlessly global code static
- #if 0 unused functions
- remove the following global function that was both unused and
  unimplemented:
  - super.c: gfs2_do_upgrade()

Steven Whitehouse 579b78a43b [GFS2] Remove GL_NEVER_RECURSE flag
There is no point in keeping this flag since recursion is not
now allowed for any glock.

Steven Whitehouse 190562bd84 [GFS2] Fix a bug: scheduling under a spinlock
At some stage, a mutex was added to gfs2_glock_put() without
checking all its call sites. Two of them were called from
under a spinlock causing random delays at various points and
crashes.

Steven Whitehouse fe1bdedc6c [GFS2] Use vmalloc() in dir code
When allocating memory to sort directory entries, use vmalloc()
rather than kmalloc() since for larger directories, the required
size can easily be graeter than the 128k maximum of kmalloc().

Also adding the first steps towards getting the AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE
return code get in the glock code by flagging all places where we
request a glock and we are holding a page lock.

Steven Whitehouse d0dc80dbaf [GFS2] Update debugging code
Update the debugging code in trans.c and at the same time improve
the debugging code for gfs2_holders. The new code should be pretty
fast during the normal case and provide just as much information
in case of errors (or more).

One small function from glock.c has moved to glock.h as a static inline so
that its return address won't get in the way of the debugging.
