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.

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.
