kernfs: Introduce separate rwsem to protect inode attributes.

Browse Source 
Right now a global per-fs rwsem (kernfs_rwsem) synchronizes multiple
kernfs operations. On a large system with few hundred CPUs and few
hundred applications simultaneoulsy trying to access sysfs, this
results in multiple sys_open(s) contending on kernfs_rwsem via
kernfs_iop_permission and kernfs_dop_revalidate.

For example on a system with 384 cores, if I run 200 instances of an
application which is mostly executing the following loop:

  for (int loop = 0; loop <100 ; loop++)
  {
    for (int port_num = 1; port_num < 2; port_num++)
    {
      for (int gid_index = 0; gid_index < 254; gid_index++ )
      {
        char ret_buf[64], ret_buf_lo[64];
        char gid_file_path[1024];

        int      ret_len;
        int      ret_fd;
        ssize_t  ret_rd;

        ub4  i, saved_errno;

        memset(ret_buf, 0, sizeof(ret_buf));
        memset(gid_file_path, 0, sizeof(gid_file_path));

        ret_len = snprintf(gid_file_path, sizeof(gid_file_path),
                           "/sys/class/infiniband/%s/ports/%d/gids/%d",
                           dev_name,
                           port_num,
                           gid_index);

        ret_fd = open(gid_file_path, O_RDONLY | O_CLOEXEC);
        if (ret_fd < 0)
        {
          printf("Failed to open %s\n", gid_file_path);
          continue;
        }

        /* Read the GID */
        ret_rd = read(ret_fd, ret_buf, 40);

        if (ret_rd == -1)
        {
          printf("Failed to read from file %s, errno: %u\n",
                 gid_file_path, saved_errno);

          continue;
        }

        close(ret_fd);
      }
    }

I see contention around kernfs_rwsem as follows:

Having a separate per-fs rwsem to protect kernfs inode attributes,
will avoid the above mentioned contention and result in better
performance as can bee seen below:

path_openat

|     |
|     |
|     |--27.06%--inode_permission
|     |          |
|     |           --25.84%--kernfs_iop_permission
|     |                     |
|     |                     |--9.29%--up_read
|     |                     |
|     |                     |--8.19%--down_read

|     |                                |
|     |                                 ----
|     |

|     |           --22.36%--lookup_fast
|     |                     |
|     |                     |--16.07%--__d_lookup
|     |                     |          |
|     |                     |           --16.01%--_raw_spin_lock
|     |                     |                     |
|     |                     |                      ----
|     |                     |
|     |                      --6.28%--kernfs_dop_revalidate
|     |                                |
|     |                                |--3.76%--down_read
|     |                                |
|     |                                 --2.26%--up_read

As can be seen from the above data the overhead due to both
kerfs_iop_permission and kernfs_dop_revalidate have gone down and
this also reduces overall run time of the earlier mentioned loop.
