This patch changes each mb_cache's both block and index hash chains to
use a hlist_bl_node, which contains a built-in lock. This is the
first step in decoupling of locks serializing accesses to mb_cache
global data and each mb_cache_entry local data.

When I enable EXT2_XATTR_DEBUG in fs/ext2/xattr.c I get a build error stating
the following:
CC fs/ext2/xattr.o
fs/ext2/xattr.c: In function 'ext2_xattr_cache_insert':
fs/ext2/xattr.c:841: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
fs/ext2/xattr.c:846: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
make[2]: *** [fs/ext2/xattr.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [fs/ext2] Error 2
make: *** [fs] Error 2
These lines reference ext2_xattr_cache->c_entry_count which is defined
in struct mb_cache. struct mb_cache is currently only defined in fs/mbcache.c.
Moving struct mb_cache definition to include/linux/mbcache.h to resolve the
issue.

The mbcache code was written to support a variable number of indexes,
but all the existing users use exactly one index. Simplify to code to
support only that case.
There are also no users of the cache entry free operation, and none of
the users keep extra data in cache entries. Remove those features as
well.

mb_cache_entry_alloc() was allocating cache entries with GFP_KERNEL. But
filesystems are calling this function while holding xattr_sem so possible
recursion into the fs violates locking ordering of xattr_sem and transaction
start / i_mutex for ext2-4. Change mb_cache_entry_alloc() so that filesystems
can specify desired gfp mask and use GFP_NOFS from all of them.

- ->releasepage() annotated (s/int/gfp_t), instances updated
- missing gfp_t in fs/* added
- fixed misannotation from the original sweep caught by bitwise checks:
XFS used __nocast both for gfp_t and for flags used by XFS allocator.
The latter left with unsigned int __nocast; we might want to add a
different type for those but for now let's leave them alone. That,
BTW, is a case when __nocast use had been actively confusing - it had
been used in the same code for two different and similar types, with
no way to catch misuses. Switch of gfp_t to bitwise had caught that
immediately...
One tricky bit is left alone to be dealt with later - mapping->flags is
a mix of gfp_t and error indications. Left alone for now.

The cache parameter to mb_cache_shrink isn't used. We may as well remove
it.

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!
