[GFS2] Add generation number

This adds a generation number for the eventual use of NFS to the
ondisk inode. Its backward compatible with the current code since
it doesn't really matter what the generation number is to start with,
and indeed since its set to zero, due to it being taken from padding
in both the inode and rgrp header, it should be fine.

The eventual plan is to use this rather than no_formal_ino in the
NFS filehandles. At that point no_formal_ino will be unused.

At the same time we also add a releasepages call back to the
"normal" address space for gfs2 inodes. Also I've removed a
one-linrer function thats not required any more.

[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.

[GFS2] Readpages support

This adds readpages support (and also corrects a small bug in
the readpage error path at the same time). Hopefully this will
improve performance by allowing GFS to submit larger lumps of
I/O at a time.

In order to simplify the setting of BH_Boundary, it currently gets
set when we hit the end of a indirect pointer block. There is
always a boundary at this point with the current allocation code.
It doesn't get all the boundaries right though, so there is still
room for improvement in this.

See comments in fs/gfs2/ops_address.c for further information about
readpages with GFS2.

[GFS2] Reordering in deallocation to avoid recursive locking

Despite my earlier careful search, there was a recursive lock left
in the deallocation code. This removes it. It also should speed up
deallocation be reducing the number of locking operations which take
place by using two "try lock" operations on the two locks involved in
inode deallocation which allows us to grab the locks out of order
(compared with NFS which grabs the inode lock first and the iopen
lock later). It is ok for us to fail while doing this since if it
does fail it means that someone else is still using the inode and
thus it wouldn't be possible to deallocate anyway.

This fixes the bug reported to me by Rob Kenna.

[GFS2] Further updates to dir and logging code

This reduces the size of the directory code by about 3k and gets

Two memory allocations are merged into one. Eliminates zeroing of some
buffers which were never used before they were initialised by
other data.

There is still scope for further improvement in the directory code.

On the logging side, a hand created mutex has been replaced by a
standard Linux mutex in the log allocation code.

[GFS2] Fix bug in directory code and tidy up

Due to a typo, the dir leaf split operation was (for the first
split in a directory) writing the new hash vaules at the
wrong offset. This is now fixed.

Also some other tidy ups are included:

- We use GFS2's hash function for dentries (see ops_dentry.c) so that
we don't have to keep recalculating the hash values.
- A lot of common code is eliminated between the various directory
lookup routines.
- Better error checking on directory lookup (previously different
routines checked for different errors)
- The leaf split operation has a couple of redundant operations
removed from it, so it should be faster.

There is still further scope for further clean ups in the directory
code, and readdir in particular could do with slimming down a bit.

We no longer lookup ".gfs2_admin" in the root directory in order to

Both the root directory and the admin directory are now looked up using
the same routine, so the redundant code is removed.

Also, there is no longer a reference to the root inode in the
GFS2 super block. When required this can be retreived via
sb->s_root->d_inode instead.

Assuming that we introduce a metadata filesystem type for GFS, then
this is a first step towards that goal.

Umount is now working correctly again. The bug was due to
not getting an extra ref count when mounting the fs. We

inode hanging off the dcache entry for root).

Also this patch tidys up the code dealing with looking up

attached) rather than the other way around and this reduces code
duplication in various places.

Add the new external read function. Its temporarily in jdata.c

In order to effect the above changes, the various internal inodes
now have Linux inodes attached to them. We keep the references to
the Linux inodes, rather than the gfs2_inodes in the super block.

In order to get everything to work correctly I've had to reorder
the init sequence on mount (which I should probably have done
earlier when .gfs2_admin was made visible).
