Inode: Allow external initialisers

To allow XFS to combine the XFS and linux inodes into a single
structure, we need to drive inode lookup from the XFS inode cache,
not the generic inode cache. This means that we need initialise a
struct inode from a context outside alloc_inode() as it is no longer
used by XFS.

Factor and export the struct inode initialisation code from
alloc_inode() to inode_init_always() as a counterpart to
inode_init_once().  i.e. we have to call this init function for each
inode instantiation (always), as opposed inode_init_once() which is
only called on slab object instantiation (once).
