This adds "norecovery" mount option which disables temporal write
access to read-only mounts or snapshots during mount/recovery.
Without this option, write access will be even performed for those
types of mounts; the temporal write access is needed to mount root
file system read-only after an unclean shutdown.

This option will be helpful when user wants to prevent any write

Although mount recovery of nilfs is integrated in load_nilfs()
procedure, the completion of recovery was isolated from the procedure
and performed at the end of the fill_super routine.

This was somewhat confusing since the recovery is needed for the nilfs

To resolve the inconsistency, this will integrate the recovery
completion into load_nilfs().

This adds setup and cleanup routines of the persistent object
allocator cache.

According to ftrace analyses, accessing buffers of the DAT file
suffers indispensable overhead many times.  To mitigate the overhead,
This introduce cache framework for the persistent object allocator
(palloc) which the DAT file and ifile are using.

struct nilfs_palloc_cache represents the cache object per metadata
file using palloc.

The cache is initialized through nilfs_palloc_setup_cache() and
destroyed by nilfs_palloc_destroy_cache(); callers of the former
function will be added to individual allocators of DAT and ifile on
successive patches.

nilfs_palloc_destroy_cache() will be called from nilfs_mdt_destroy()
if the cache is attached to a metadata file.  A companion function
nilfs_palloc_clear_cache() is provided to allow releasing buffer head
references independently with the cleanup task.  This adjunctive
function will be used before invalidating pages of metadata file with
the cache.

Previously, nilfs_bmap_add_blocks() and nilfs_bmap_sub_blocks() called
mark_inode_dirty() after they changed the number of data blocks.

This moves these calls outside bmap outermost functions like
nilfs_bmap_insert() or nilfs_bmap_truncate().

This will mitigate overhead for truncate or delete operation since
they repeatedly remove set of blocks.  Nearly 10 percent improvement
was observed for removal of a large file:

 # dd if=/dev/zero of=/test/aaa bs=1M count=512
 # time rm /test/aaa

lock_buffer() and unlock_buffer() uses in btree.c are eliminable

which never returns an on-the-fly buffer.

Although nilfs_clear_dirty_page() and nilfs_copy_back_pages() in
nilfs_commit_gcdat_inode() juggle btree node buffers of DAT, this is
safe because these operations are protected by a log writer lock or
the metadata file semaphore of DAT.
