From: Muchun Song <songmuchun@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: fs: introduce alloc_inode_sb() to allocate filesystems specific inode

The allocated inode cache is supposed to be added to its memcg list_lru
which should be allocated as well in advance.  That can be done by
kmem_cache_alloc_lru() which allocates object and list_lru.  The file
systems is main user of it.  So introduce alloc_inode_sb() to allocate
file system specific inodes and set up the inode reclaim context properly.
The file system is supposed to use alloc_inode_sb() to allocate inodes. 
In the later patches, we will convert all users to the new API.
