The btree key cache mutex was becoming a significant bottleneck - it was mainly used to protect the lists of dirty, clean and freed cached keys. This patch eliminates the dirty and clean lists - instead, when we need to scan for keys to drop from the cache we iterate over the rhashtable, and thus we're able to remove most uses of that lock.

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.
