fs: Convert nr_inodes and nr_unused to per-cpu counters
The number of inodes allocated does not need to be tied to the
addition or removal of an inode to/from a list. If we are not tied
to a list lock, we could update the counters when inodes are
initialised or destroyed, but to do that we need to convert the
counters to be per-cpu (i.e. independent of a lock). This means that
we have the freedom to change the list/locking implementation
without needing to care about the counters.
Based on a patch originally from Eric Dumazet.
[AV: cleaned up a bit, fixed build breakage on weird configs
