Now that we have a small ID for each client we can use xarray instead of linearly searching linked lists for client data. This will give much faster and scalable client data lookup, and will lets us revise the locking scheme. Since xarray can store 'going_down' using a mark just entirely eliminate the struct ib_client_data and directly store the client_data value in the xarray. However this does require a special iterator as we must still iterate over any NULL client_data values. Also eliminate the client_data_lock in favour of internal xarray locking.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
