xfs: stop using the page cache to back the buffer cache

Now that the buffer cache has it's own LRU, we do not need to use
the page cache to provide persistent caching and reclaim
infrastructure. Convert the buffer cache to use alloc_pages()
instead of the page cache. This will remove all the overhead of page
cache management from setup and teardown of the buffers, as well as
needing to mark pages accessed as we find buffers in the buffer
cache.

By avoiding the page cache, we also remove the need to keep state in
the page_private(page) field for persistant storage across buffer
free/buffer rebuild and so all that code can be removed. This also
fixes the long-standing problem of not having enough bits in the
page_private field to track all the state needed for a 512
sector/64k page setup.

It also removes the need for page locking during reads as the pages
are unique to the buffer and nobody else will be attempting to
access them.

Finally, it removes the buftarg address space lock as a point of
global contention on workloads that allocate and free buffers
quickly such as when creating or removing large numbers of inodes in
parallel. This remove the 16TB limit on filesystem size on 32 bit
machines as the page index (32 bit) is no longer used for lookups
of metadata buffers - the buffer cache is now solely indexed by disk
address which is stored in a 64 bit field in the buffer.
