This patch fixes the way we have been dealing with unlinked,
but still open files. It removes all limits (other than memory
for inodes, as per every other filesystem) on numbers of these
which we can support on GFS2. It also means that (like other
fs) its the responsibility of the last process to close the file
to deallocate the storage, rather than the person who did the
unlinking. Note that with GFS2, those two events might take place
on different nodes.
Also there are a number of other changes:
o We use the Linux inode subsystem as it was intended to be
used, wrt allocating GFS2 inodes
o The Linux inode cache is now the point which we use for
local enforcement of only holding one copy of the inode in
core at once (previous to this we used the glock layer).
o We no longer use the unlinked "special" file. We just ignore it
completely. This makes unlinking more efficient.
o We now use the 4th block allocation state. The previously unused
state is used to track unlinked but still open inodes.
o gfs2_inoded is no longer needed
o Several fields are now no longer needed (and removed) from the in
core struct gfs2_inode
o Several fields are no longer needed (and removed) from the in core
superblock
There are a number of future possible optimisations and clean ups
which have been made possible by this patch.

The caller ensures that ea_list_i() is never called with an
invalid type, so lets BUG() if we see one. This clears up
a couple of compiler warnings too.

This adds support to GFS2 for selinux extended attributes. There is a
known bug in gfs2_ea_get() which is believed to be independant of this
patch. Further patches will follow once that bug is fixed in order to
make GFS2 use as much of the generic eattr infrastructure as possible.

We no longer use semaphores, everything has been converted to
mutex or rwsem, so we don't need to include this header any more.

This patch contains the following possible cleanups:
- make needlessly global code static
- #if 0 unused functions
- remove the following global function that was both unused and
unimplemented:
- super.c: gfs2_do_upgrade()

As suggested by Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi>.
The DIV_RU macro is renamed DIV_ROUND_UP and and moved to kernel.h
The other macros are gone from gfs2.h as (although not requested
by Pekka Enberg) are a number of included header file which are now
included individually. The inode number comparison function is
now an inline function.
The DT2IF and IF2DT may be addressed in a future patch.

This adds an extra argument to gfs2_trans_add_bh() to indicate whether the
bh being added to the transaction is metadata or data. Its currently unused
since all existing callers set it to 1 (metadata) but following patches will
make use of it.
