Nick Piggin a60637c858 mm: lockless pagecache
Combine page_cache_get_speculative with lockless radix tree lookups to
introduce lockless page cache lookups (ie.  no mapping->tree_lock on the
read-side).

The only atomicity changes this introduces is that the gang pagecache
lookup functions now behave as if they are implemented with multiple
find_get_page calls, rather than operating on a snapshot of the pages.  In
practice, this atomicity guarantee is not used anyway, and it is to
replace individual lookups, so these semantics are natural.
