tmpfs: per-superblock i_ino support

Patch series "tmpfs: inode: Reduce risk of inum overflow", v7.

In Facebook production we are seeing heavy i_ino wraparounds on tmpfs.  On
affected tiers, in excess of 10% of hosts show multiple files with
different content and the same inode number, with some servers even having
as many as 150 duplicated inode numbers with differing file content.

This causes actual, tangible problems in production.  For example, we have
complaints from those working on remote caches that their application is
reporting cache corruptions because it uses (device, inodenum) to
establish the identity of a particular cache object, but because it's not
unique any more, the application refuses to continue and reports cache
corruption.  Even worse, sometimes applications may not even detect the
corruption but may continue anyway, causing phantom and hard to debug
behaviour.

In general, userspace applications expect that (device, inodenum) should
be enough to be uniquely point to one inode, which seems fair enough.  One
might also need to check the generation, but in this case:

1. That's not currently exposed to userspace
   (ioctl(...FS_IOC_GETVERSION...) returns ENOTTY on tmpfs);
2. Even with generation, there shouldn't be two live inodes with the
   same inode number on one device.

In order to mitigate this, we take a two-pronged approach:

1. Moving inum generation from being global to per-sb for tmpfs. This
   itself allows some reduction in i_ino churn. This works on both 64-
   and 32- bit machines.
2. Adding inode{64,32} for tmpfs. This fix is supported on machines with
   64-bit ino_t only: we allow users to mount tmpfs with a new inode64
   option that uses the full width of ino_t, or CONFIG_TMPFS_INODE64.

You can see how this compares to previous related patches which didn't
implement this per-superblock:

- https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11254001/
- https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11023915/

This patch (of 2):

get_next_ino has a number of problems:

- It uses and returns a uint, which is susceptible to become overflowed
  if a lot of volatile inodes that use get_next_ino are created.
- It's global, with no specificity per-sb or even per-filesystem. This
  means it's not that difficult to cause inode number wraparounds on a
  single device, which can result in having multiple distinct inodes
  with the same inode number.

This patch adds a per-superblock counter that mitigates the second case.
This design also allows us to later have a specific i_ino size per-device,
for example, allowing users to choose whether to use 32- or 64-bit inodes
for each tmpfs mount.  This is implemented in the next commit.

For internal shmem mounts which may be less tolerant to spinlock delays,
we implement a percpu batching scheme which only takes the stat_lock at
each batch boundary.
