Allow searching of the inode cache under RCU conditions - but with a
footnote that this is redone under lock under certain conditions.
The following changes are made:
(1) Use hlist_add_head_rcu() and hlist_del_init_rcu() to add and remove
an inode to/from a bucket.
(2) In rehash_inode(), called by Coda to change the identifying parameters
on an inode during resolution of disconnected operation, lock
inode_hash_lock with write_seqlock(), which takes the spinlock and
bumps the sequence counter.
(3) Provide __find_inode_rcu() and __find_inode_by_ino rcu() which do an
RCU-safe crawl through a hash bucket.
(4) Provide find_inode_rcu() and find_inode_by_ino_rcu() which do a
read_seqbegin_or_lock() conditional lock-loop on inode_hash_lock to
cover searching the icache. Normally this will work without needing
to retry, but in case (4), where an inode may be moved between lists,
we need to retry with the lock held.
