introduce a parallel variant of ->iterate()

New method: ->iterate_shared().  Same arguments as in ->iterate(),
called with the directory locked only shared.  Once all filesystems
switch, the old one will be gone.

+	->iterate_shared() is added; it's a parallel variant of ->iterate().
+	Exclusion on struct file level is still provided (as well as that
+	between it and lseek on the same struct file), but if your directory
+	has been opened several times, you can get these called in parallel.
+	Exclusion between that method and all directory-modifying ones is
+	still provided, of course.
+
+	Often enough ->iterate() can serve as ->iterate_shared() without any
+	changes - it is a read-only operation, after all.  If you have any
+	per-inode or per-dentry in-core data structures modified by ->iterate(),
+	you might need something to serialize the access to them.  If you
+	do dcache pre-seeding, you'll need to switch to d_alloc_parallel() for
+	that; look for in-tree examples.
+
+	Old method is only used if the new one is absent; eventually it will
+	be removed.  Switch while you still can; the old one won't stay.
