reiserfs: cleanup, rename key and item accessors to more friendly names

This patch does a quick search and replace:
B_N_PITEM_HEAD() -> item_head()
B_N_PDELIM_KEY() -> internal_key()
B_N_PKEY() -> leaf_key()
B_N_PITEM() -> item_body()

And the item_head version:
B_I_PITEM() -> ih_item_body()
I_ENTRY_COUNT() -> ih_entry_count()

And the treepath variants:
get_ih() -> tp_item_head()
PATH_PITEM_HEAD() -> tp_item_head()
get_item() -> tp_item_body()

... which makes the code much easier on the eyes.

I've also removed a few unused macros.

Checkpatch will complain about the 80 character limit for do_balan.c.
I've addressed that in a later patchset to split up balance_leaf().

reiserfs: locking, release lock around quota operations

Previous commits released the write lock across quota operations but
missed several places. In particular, the free operations can also
call into the file system code and take the write lock, causing
deadlocks.

This patch introduces some more helpers and uses them for quota call
sites. Without this patch applied, reiserfs + quotas runs into deadlocks
under anything more than trivial load.

reiserfs: locking, handle nested locks properly

The reiserfs write lock replaced the BKL and uses similar semantics.

Frederic's locking code makes a distinction between when the lock is nested
and when it's being acquired/released, but I don't think that's the right
distinction to make.

The right distinction is between the lock being released at end-of-use and
the lock being released for a schedule. The unlock should return the depth
and the lock should restore it, rather than the other way around as it is now.

This patch implements that and adds a number of places where the lock
should be dropped.

kill-the-bkl/reiserfs: move the concurrent tree accesses checks per superblock

When do_balance() balances the tree, a trick is performed to
provide the ability for other tree writers/readers to check whether
do_balance() is executing concurrently (requires CONFIG_REISERFS_CHECK).

This is done to protect concurrent accesses to the tree. The trick
is the following:

When do_balance is called, a unique global variable called cur_tb
takes a pointer to the current tree to be rebalanced.
Once do_balance finishes its work, cur_tb takes the NULL value.

Then, concurrent tree readers/writers just have to check the value
of cur_tb to ensure do_balance isn't executing concurrently.
If it is, then it proves that schedule() occured on do_balance(),
which then relaxed the bkl that protected the tree.

Now that the bkl has be turned into a mutex, this check is still
fine even though do_balance() becomes preemptible: the write lock
will not be automatically released on schedule(), so the tree is
still protected.

But this is only fine if we have a single reiserfs mountpoint.
Indeed, because the bkl is a global lock, it didn't allowed
concurrent executions between a tree reader/writer in a mount point
and a do_balance() on another tree from another mountpoint.

So assuming all these readers/writers weren't supposed to be
reentrant, the current check now sometimes detect false positives with
the current per-superblock mutex which allows this reentrancy.

This patch keeps the concurrent tree accesses check but moves it
per superblock, so that only trees from a same mount point are
checked to be not accessed concurrently.

[ Impact: fix spurious panic while running several reiserfs mount-points ]

kill-the-bkl/reiserfs: unlock only when needed in search_by_key

search_by_key() is the site which most requires the lock.
This is mostly because it is a very central function and also
because it releases/reaqcuires the write lock at least once each
time it is called.

Such release/reacquire creates a lot of contention in this place and
also opens more the window which let another thread changing the tree.
When it happens, the current path searching over the tree must be
retried from the beggining (the root) which is a wasteful and
time consuming recovery.

This patch factorizes two release/reacquire sequences:

- reading leaf nodes blocks
- reading current block

The latter immediately follows the former.

The whole sequence is safe as a single unlocked section because
we check just after if the tree has changed during these operations.

kill-the-bkl/reiserfs: reduce number of contentions in search_by_key()

search_by_key() is a central function in reiserfs which searches
the patch in the fs tree from the root to a node given its key.

It is the function that is most requesting the write lock
because it's a path very often used.

Also we forget to release the lock while reading the next tree node,
making us holding the lock in a wasteful way.

Then we release the lock while reading the current node and its childs,
all-in-one. It should be safe because we have a reference to these
blocks and even if we read a block that will be concurrently changed,
we have an fs_changed check later that will make us retry the path from
the root.

kill-the-BKL/reiserfs: release write lock while rescheduling on prepare_for_delete_or_cut()

prepare_for_delete_or_cut() can process several types of items, including
indirect items, ie: items which contain no file data but pointers to
unformatted nodes scattering the datas of a file.

In this case it has to zero out these pointers to block numbers of
unformatted nodes and release the bitmap from these block numbers.

It can take some time, so a rescheduling() is performed between each
block processed. We can safely release the write lock while
rescheduling(), like the bkl did, because the code checks just after
if the item has moved after sleeping.

reiserfs: kill-the-BKL

This patch is an attempt to remove the Bkl based locking scheme from
reiserfs and is intended.

It is a bit inspired from an old attempt by Peter Zijlstra:

http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0704.2/2174.html

The bkl is heavily used in this filesystem to prevent from
concurrent write accesses on the filesystem.

Reiserfs makes a deep use of the specific properties of the Bkl:

- It can be acqquired recursively by a same task
- It is released on the schedule() calls and reacquired when schedule() returns

The two properties above are a roadmap for the reiserfs write locking so it's
very hard to simply replace it with a common mutex.

- We need a recursive-able locking unless we want to restructure several blocks
of the code.
- We need to identify the sites where the bkl was implictly relaxed
(schedule, wait, sync, etc...) so that we can in turn release and
reacquire our new lock explicitly.
Such implicit releases of the lock are often required to let other
resources producer/consumer do their job or we can suffer unexpected
starvations or deadlocks.

So the new lock that replaces the bkl here is a per superblock mutex with a
specific property: it can be acquired recursively by a same task, like the
bkl.

For such purpose, we integrate a lock owner and a lock depth field on the
superblock information structure.

The first axis on this patch is to turn reiserfs_write_(un)lock() function
into a wrapper to manage this mutex. Also some explicit calls to
lock_kernel() have been converted to reiserfs_write_lock() helpers.

The second axis is to find the important blocking sites (schedule...(),
wait_on_buffer(), sync_dirty_buffer(), etc...) and then apply an explicit
release of the write lock on these locations before blocking. Then we can
safely wait for those who can give us resources or those who need some.
Typically this is a fight between the current writer, the reiserfs workqueue
(aka the async commiter) and the pdflush threads.

The third axis is a consequence of the second. The write lock is usually
on top of a lock dependency chain which can include the journal lock, the
flush lock or the commit lock. So it's dangerous to release and trying to
reacquire the write lock while we still hold other locks.

This is fine with the bkl:

T1 T2

lock_kernel()
mutex_lock(A)
unlock_kernel()
// do something
lock_kernel()
mutex_lock(A) -> already locked by T1
schedule() (and then unlock_kernel())
lock_kernel()
mutex_unlock(A)
....

This is not fine with a mutex:

T1 T2

mutex_lock(write)
mutex_lock(A)
mutex_unlock(write)
// do something
mutex_lock(write)
mutex_lock(A) -> already locked by T1
schedule()

mutex_lock(write) -> already locked by T2
deadlock

The solution in this patch is to provide a helper which releases the write
lock and sleep a bit if we can't lock a mutex that depend on it. It's another
simulation of the bkl behaviour.

The last axis is to locate the fs callbacks that are called with the bkl held,
according to Documentation/filesystem/Locking.

Those are:

- reiserfs_remount
- reiserfs_fill_super
- reiserfs_put_super

Reiserfs didn't need to explicitly lock because of the context of these callbacks.
But now we must take care of that with the new locking.

After this patch, reiserfs suffers from a slight performance regression (for now).
On UP, a high volume write with dd reports an average of 27 MB/s instead
of 30 MB/s without the patch applied.
