[PATCH 10/11] fs: fix hungtask due to repeated traversal of inodes list

From: Ye Bin <yebin10@xxxxxxxxxx>

There's a issue when remove scsi disk, the invalidate_inodes() function
cannot exit for a long time, then trigger hungtask:
INFO: task kworker/56:0:1391396 blocked for more than 122 seconds.
"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.

As commit 04646aebd30b ("fs: avoid softlockups in s_inodes iterators")
introduces the retry logic. In the problem environment, the 'i_count'
of millions of files is not zero. As a result, the time slice for each
traversal to the matching inode process is almost used up, and then the
traversal is started from scratch. The worst-case scenario is that only
one inode can be processed after each wakeup. Because this process holds
a lock, other processes will be stuck for a long time, causing a series
of problems.
To solve the problem of repeated traversal from the beginning, each time
the CPU needs to be freed, a cursor is inserted into the linked list, and
the traversal continues from the cursor next time.
