The previous attempts to fix the linux inode use-after-free in xfs_iunpin
simply made the problem harder to hit. We actually need complete exclusion
between xfs_reclaim and xfs_iunpin, as well as ensuring that the i_flags
are consistent during both of these functions. Introduce a new spinlock
for exclusion and the i_flags, and fix up xfs_iunpin to use igrab before
marking the inode dirty.

millions of inodes cached and has sparse cluster population, removing
inodes from the cluster hash consumes excessive amounts of CPU time.
Reduce the CPU cost by making removal O(1) via use of a double linked list
for the hash chains.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
