dcache_lock no longer protects anything. remove it.

Protect d_subdirs and d_child with d_lock, except in filesystems that aren't
using dcache_lock for these anyway (eg. using i_mutex).Note: if we change the locking rule in future so that ->d_child protection is
provided only with ->d_parent->d_lock, it may allow us to reduce some locking.
But it would be an exception to an otherwise regular locking scheme, so we'd
have to see some good results. Probably not worthwhile.Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin

Change d_compare so it may be called from lock-free RCU lookups. This
does put significant restrictions on what may be done from the callback,
however there don't seem to have been any problems with in-tree fses.
If some strange use case pops up that _really_ cannot cope with the
rcu-walk rules, we can just add new rcu-unaware callbacks, which would
cause name lookup to drop out of rcu-walk mode.For in-tree filesystems, this is just a mechanical change.

Dozen of changes in ncpfs to provide some locking other than BKL.
In readdir cache unlock and mark complete first page as last operation,
so it can be used for synchronization, as code intended.When updating dentry name on case insensitive filesystems do at least
some basic locking...Hold i_mutex when updating inode fields.
Push some ncp_conn_is_valid down to ncp_request. Connection can become
invalid at any moment, and fewer error code paths to test the better.Use i_size_{read,write} to modify file size.
Set inode's backing_dev_info as ncpfs has its own special bdi.
In ioctl unbreak ioctls invoked on filesystem mounted 'ro' - tests are
for inode writeable or owner match, but were turned to filesystem
writeable and inode writeable or owner match. Also collect all permission
checks in single place.Add some locking, and remove comments saying that it would be cool to
add some locks to the code.Constify some pointers.

Some long time ago, dentry struct was carefully tuned so that on 32 bits
UP, sizeof(struct dentry) was exactly 128, ie a power of 2, and a multiple
of memory cache lines.Then RCU was added and dentry struct enlarged by two pointers, with nice
results for SMP, but not so good on UP, because breaking the above tuning
(128 + 8 = 136 bytes)This patch reverts this unwanted side effect, by using an union (d_u),
where d_rcu and d_child are placed so that these two fields can share their
memory needs.At the time d_free() is called (and d_rcu is really used), d_child is known
to be empty and not touched by the dentry freeing.Lockless lookups only access d_name, d_parent, d_lock, d_op, d_flags (so
the previous content of d_child is not needed if said dentry was unhashed
but still accessed by a CPU because of RCU constraints)As dentry cache easily contains millions of entries, a size reduction is
worth the extra complexity of the ugly C union.Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.Let it rip!
