[PATCH 2/2] fuse: reduce fi->lock contention on parallel direct I/O

[Russ Fellows <russ.fellows@gmail.com>]

On the parallel passthrough write path, fi->lock was acquired three
times per I/O under the original code:

  1. fuse_inode_uncached_io_start() -- decrement iocachectr
  2. fuse_write_update_attr()        -- bump attr_version, check i_size
  3. fuse_inode_uncached_io_end()    -- increment iocachectr, wake waiters

At 1.7M IOPS (numjobs=8, iodepth=64, 4K) this amounts to ~5.1M spinlock
acquisitions/second on a single cache line.  While the parallel-writes fix
(patch 1/2) is the primary bottleneck, this patch eliminates the remaining
fi->lock overhead on the hot path.

Convert iocachectr from int to atomic_t and add lockless fast paths:

fuse_inode_uncached_io_start(fb=NULL): use an atomic_try_cmpxchg loop to
check-and-decrement without fi->lock.  The lock is still taken for the
first open (0→-1 transition) and for backing-file manipulation.

fuse_inode_uncached_io_end(): use atomic_inc_return to detect the
still-inflight case (counter still negative after increment) without a
lock.  fi->lock is only taken when the counter reaches zero, to serialize
wake_up and backing-file clear with concurrent opens.

fuse_write_update_attr(): skip fi->lock for the common in-EOF case.
Use WRITE_ONCE for fi->attr_version (some readers already access it
without fi->lock, e.g. inode.c:355 and dir.c:2069).  fi->lock is only
taken when pos > i_size, with a double-check inside to handle races near
EOF.  Parallel direct writes are gated on fuse_io_past_eof() returning
false upstream, so this slow path is not taken on the hot path.

All existing callsites that access iocachectr under fi->lock are updated
to use the atomic API (atomic_read/inc/dec), which are no-ops with the
lock held.
