fs: introduce a per-cpu last_ino allocator

Browse Source 
new_inode() dirties a contended cache line to get increasing
inode numbers. This limits performance on workloads that cause
significant parallel inode allocation.

Solve this problem by using a per_cpu variable fed by the shared
last_ino in batches of 1024 allocations.  This reduces contention on
the shared last_ino, and give same spreading ino numbers than before
(i.e. same wraparound after 2^32 allocations).

/*
* Each cpu owns a range of LAST_INO_BATCH numbers.
* 'shared_last_ino' is dirtied only once out of LAST_INO_BATCH allocations,
* to renew the exhausted range.
*
* This does not significantly increase overflow rate because every CPU can
* consume at most LAST_INO_BATCH-1 unused inode numbers. So there is
* NR_CPUS*(LAST_INO_BATCH-1) wastage. At 4096 and 1024, this is ~0.1% of the
* 2^32 range, and is a worst-case. Even a 50% wastage would only increase
* overflow rate by 2x, which does not seem too significant.
*
* On a 32bit, non LFS stat() call, glibc will generate an EOVERFLOW
* error if st_ino won't fit in target struct field. Use 32bit counter
* here to attempt to avoid that.
