xattr handlers: Pass handler to operations instead of flags

The xattr_handler operations are currently all passed a file system
specific flags value which the operations can use to disambiguate between
different handlers; some file systems use that to distinguish the xattr
namespace, for example. In some oprations, it would be useful to also have
access to the handler prefix. To allow that, pass a pointer to the handler
to operations instead of the flags value alone.

ext2: Remove s_dirt handling

Places which modify superblock feature / state fields mark the superblock
buffer dirty so it is written out by flusher thread. Thus there's no need to
set s_dirt there.

The only other fields changing in the superblock are the numbers of free
blocks, free inodes and s_wtime. There's no real need to write (or even
compute) these periodically. Free blocks / inodes counters are recomputed on
every mount from group counters anyway and value of s_wtime is only
informational and imprecise anyway. So it should be enough to write these
opportunistically on mount, remount, umount, and sync_fs times.

In ext2_xattr_get(), the code will acquire xattr_sem first, later checks

also ext2_xattr_set() checks the length before other checks. So move the
check before acquiring xattr_sem to make these two functions consistent.

Add a spinlock that protects against concurrent modifications of
s_mount_state, s_blocks_last, s_overhead_last and the content of the
superblock's buffer pointed to by sbi->s_es. The spinlock is now used in
ext2_xattr_update_super_block() which was setting the
EXT2_FEATURE_COMPAT_EXT_ATTR flag on the superblock without protection
before. Likewise the spinlock is used in ext2_show_options() to have a
consistent view of the mount options.

This is a preparation patch for removing the BKL from ext2 in the next
patch.

dquot: cleanup space allocation / freeing routines

Get rid of the alloc_space, free_space, reserve_space, claim_space and
release_rsv dquot operations - they are always called from the filesystem
and if a filesystem really needs their own (which none currently does)
it can just call into it's own routine directly.

Move shared logic into the common __dquot_alloc_space,
dquot_claim_space_nodirty and __dquot_free_space low-level methods,
and rationalize the wrappers around it to move as much as possible
code into the common block for CONFIG_QUOTA vs not. Also rename
all these helpers to be named dquot_* instead of vfs_dq_*.

sanitize xattr handler prototypes

Add a flags argument to struct xattr_handler and pass it to all xattr
handler methods. This allows using the same methods for multiple
handlers, e.g. for the ACL methods which perform exactly the same action
for the access and default ACLs, just using a different underlying
attribute. With a little more groundwork it'll also allow sharing the
methods for the regular user/trusted/secure handlers in extN, ocfs2 and
jffs2 like it's already done for xfs in this patch.

Also change the inode argument to the handlers to a dentry to allow
using the handlers mechnism for filesystems that require it later,
e.g. cifs.

vfs: fix possible deadlock in ext2, ext3, ext4 when using xattrs

mb_cache_entry_alloc() was allocating cache entries with GFP_KERNEL. But
filesystems are calling this function while holding xattr_sem so possible
recursion into the fs violates locking ordering of xattr_sem and transaction
start / i_mutex for ext2-4. Change mb_cache_entry_alloc() so that filesystems
can specify desired gfp mask and use GFP_NOFS from all of them.
