Just the flags; only NFS cares even about that, but there are
legitimate uses for such argument.  And getting rid of that
completely would require splitting ->lookup() into a couple
of methods (at least), so let's leave that alone for now...

This patch makes affs stop using the VFS '->write_super()' method along with
the 's_dirt' superblock flag, because they are on their way out.

The whole "superblock write-out" VFS infrastructure is served by the
'sync_supers()' kernel thread, which wakes up every 5 (by default) seconds and
writes out all dirty superblocks using the '->write_super()' call-back.  But the
problem with this thread is that it wastes power by waking up the system every
5 seconds, even if there are no diry superblocks, or there are no client
file-systems which would need this (e.g., btrfs does not use
'->write_super()'). So we want to kill it completely and thus, we need to make
file-systems to stop using the '->write_super()' VFS service, and then remove
it together with the kernel thread.

Add an 'sb' VFS superblock back-reference to the 'struct affs_sb_info' data
structure - we will need to find the VFS superblock from a 'struct
affs_sb_info' object in the next patch, so this change is jut a preparation.

Btrfs needs to be able to control how filemap_write_and_wait_range() is called
in fsync to make it less of a painful operation, so push down taking i_mutex and
the calling of filemap_write_and_wait() down into the ->fsync() handlers.  Some
file systems can drop taking the i_mutex altogether it seems, like ext3 and
ocfs2.  For correctness sake I just pushed everything down in all cases to make
sure that we keep the current behavior the same for everybody, and then each
individual fs maintainer can make up their mind about what to do from there.

This gives the filesystem more information about the writeback that
is happening.  Trond requested this for the NFS unstable write handling,

unfortunately, for affs (especially for affs directories) we have
no real way to keep track of metadata ownership.  So we have to
do more or less what file_fsync() does, but we do *not* need to
call write_super() there.

- remove affs_put_inode, so preallocations aren't discared unnecessarily
  often.
- remove affs_drop_inode, it's called with a spinlock held, so it can't
  use a mutex.
- make i_opencnt atomic
- avoid direct b_count manipulations
- a few allocation failure fixes, so that these are more gracefully
  handled now.

Stop the AFFS filesystem from using iget() and read_inode().  Replace
affs_read_inode() with affs_iget(), and call that instead of iget().
affs_iget() then uses iget_locked() directly and returns a proper error code
instead of an inode in the event of an error.

affs_fill_super() returns any error incurred when getting the root inode
instead of EINVAL.

affs wants to truncate the inode when the last user goes away, currently it
does that through a potentially racy i_count check in ->put_inode.  But we
already have a method that's called just after the we dropped the last
reference, ->drop_inode.  This patch implements affs_drop_inode to take
advantage of this.

Many struct inode_operations in the kernel can be "const".  Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data.  In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

This is a conversion to make the various file_operations structs in fs/
const.  Basically a regexp job, with a few manual fixups

The goal is both to increase correctness (harder to accidentally write to
shared datastructures) and reducing the false sharing of cachelines with
things that get dirty in .data (while .rodata is nicely read only and thus
cache clean)

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!
