RCU free the struct inode. This will allow:
- sb_inode_list_lock to be moved inside i_lock because sb list walkers who want
to take i_lock no longer need to take sb_inode_list_lock to walk the list in
the first place. This will simplify and optimize locking.
- eventually, completely write-free RCU path walking. The inode must be
consulted for permissions when walking, so a write-free reference (ie.
RCU is helpful).
- can potentially simplify things a bit in VM land. May not need to take the
page lock to get back to the page->mapping.
- can remove some nested trylock loops in dcache code
- Could remove the 'wq' allocation from socket now that the entire thing is
rcu freed.
todo: convert all filesystems
