ext4: fix up remaining files with SPDX cleanups

A number of ext4 source files were skipped due because their copyright
permission statements didn't match the expected text used by the
automated conversion utilities. I've added SPDX tags for the rest.

While looking at some of these files, I've noticed that we have quite
a bit of variation on the licenses that were used --- in particular
some of the Red Hat licenses on the jbd2 files use a GPL2+ license,
and we have some files that have a LGPL-2.1 license (which was quite
surprising).

I've not attempted to do any license changes. Even if it is perfectly
legal to relicense to GPL 2.0-only for consistency's sake, that should
be done with ext4 developer community discussion.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.

For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139

and resulted in the first patch in this series.

If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930

and resulted in the second patch in this series.

- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1

and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).

- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

ext4: backward compatibility support for Lustre ea_inode implementation

Original Lustre ea_inode feature did not have ref counts on xattr inodes
because there was always one parent that referenced it. New
implementation expects ref count to be initialized which is not true for
Lustre case. Handle this by detecting Lustre created xattr inode and set
its ref count to 1.

The quota handling of xattr inodes have also changed with deduplication
support. New implementation manually manages quotas to support sharing
across multiple users. A consequence is that, a referencing inode
incorporates the blocks of xattr inode into its own i_block field.

We need to know how a xattr inode was created so that we can reverse the
block charges during reference removal. This is handled by introducing a
EXT4_STATE_LUSTRE_EA_INODE flag. The flag is set on a xattr inode if
inode appears to have been created by Lustre. During xattr inode reference
removal, the manual quota uncharge is skipped if the flag is set.

ext4: fix dir_nlink behaviour

The dir_nlink feature has been enabled by default for new ext4
filesystems since e2fsprogs-1.41 in 2008, and was automatically
enabled by the kernel for older ext4 filesystems since the
dir_nlink feature was added with ext4 in kernel 2.6.28+ when
the subdirectory count exceeded EXT4_LINK_MAX-1.

Automatically adding the file system features such as dir_nlink is
generally frowned upon, since it could cause the file system to not be
mountable on older kernel, thus preventing the administrator from
rolling back to an older kernel if necessary.

In this case, the administrator might also want to disable the feature
because glibc's fts_read() function does not correctly optimize
directory traversal for directories that use st_nlinks field of 1 to
indicate that the number of links in the directory are not tracked by
the file system, and could fail to traverse the full directory
hierarchy. Fortunately, in the past ten years very few users have
complained about incomplete file system traversal by glibc's
fts_read().

This commit also changes ext4_inc_count() to allow i_nlinks to reach
the full EXT4_LINK_MAX links on the parent directory (including "."
and "..") before changing i_links_count to be 1.

ext4: send parallel discards on commit completions

Now, when we mount ext4 filesystem with '-o discard' option, we have to
issue all the discard commands for the blocks to be deallocated and
wait for the completion of the commands on the commit complete phase.
Because this procedure might involve a lot of sequential combinations of
issuing discard commands and waiting for that, the delay of this
procedure might be too much long, even to 17.0s in our test,
and it results in long commit delay and fsync() performance degradation.

To reduce this kind of delay, instead of adding callback for each
extent and handling all of them in a sequential manner on commit phase,
we instead add a separate list of extents to free to the superblock and
then process this list at once after transaction commits so that
we can issue all the discard commands in a parallel manner like XFS
filesystem.

Finally, we could enhance the discard command handling performance.
The result was such that 17.0s delay of a single commit in the worst
case has been enhanced to 4.8s.

ext4: xattr inode deduplication

Ext4 now supports xattr values that are up to 64k in size (vfs limit).
Large xattr values are stored in external inodes each one holding a
single value. Once written the data blocks of these inodes are immutable.

The real world use cases are expected to have a lot of value duplication
such as inherited acls etc. To reduce data duplication on disk, this patch
implements a deduplicator that allows sharing of xattr inodes.

The deduplication is based on an in-memory hash lookup that is a best
effort sharing scheme. When a xattr inode is read from disk (i.e.
getxattr() call), its crc32c hash is added to a hash table. Before
creating a new xattr inode for a value being set, the hash table is
checked to see if an existing inode holds an identical value. If such an
inode is found, the ref count on that inode is incremented. On value
removal the ref count is decremented and if it reaches zero the inode is
deleted.

The quota charging for such inodes is manually managed. Every reference
holder is charged the full size as if there was no sharing happening.
This is consistent with how xattr blocks are also charged.

[ Fixed up journal credits calculation to handle inline data and the
rare case where an shared xattr block can get freed when two thread
race on breaking the xattr block sharing. --tytso ]
