Change _xfs_buf_initialize to allocate the buffer directly and rename it to
xfs_buf_alloc now that is the only buffer allocation routine. Also remove
the xfs_buf_deallocate wrapper around the kmem_zone_free calls for buffers.

For each call to xfs_buf_stale we call xfs_buf_delwri_dequeue either
directly before or after it, or are guaranteed by the surrounding
conditionals that we are never called on delwri buffers. Simply
this situation by moving the call to xfs_buf_delwri_dequeue into
xfs_buf_stale.

Stats show that for an 8-way unlink @ ~80,000 unlinks/s we are doing
~1 million cache hit lookups to ~3000 buffer creates. That's almost
3 orders of magnitude more cahce hits than misses, so optimising for
cache hits is quite important. In the cache hit case, we do not need
to allocate a new buffer in case of a cache miss, so we are
effectively hitting the allocator for no good reason for vast the
majority of calls to _xfs_buf_find. 8-way create workloads are
showing similar cache hit/miss ratios.
The result is profiles that look like this:
samples pcnt function DSO
_______ _____ _______________________________ _________________
1036.00 10.0% _xfs_buf_find [kernel.kallsyms]
582.00 5.6% kmem_cache_alloc [kernel.kallsyms]
519.00 5.0% __memcpy [kernel.kallsyms]
468.00 4.5% __ticket_spin_lock [kernel.kallsyms]
388.00 3.7% kmem_cache_free [kernel.kallsyms]
331.00 3.2% xfs_log_commit_cil [kernel.kallsyms]
Further, there is a fair bit of work involved in initialising a new
buffer once a cache miss has occurred and we currently do that under
the rbtree spinlock. That increases spinlock hold time on what are
heavily used trees.
To fix this, remove the initialisation of the buffer from
_xfs_buf_find() and only allocate the new buffer once we've had a
cache miss. Initialise the buffer immediately after allocating it in
xfs_buf_get, too, so that is it ready for insert if we get another
cache miss after allocation. This minimises lock hold time and
avoids unnecessary allocator churn. The resulting profiles look
like:

Remove the xfs_buf_relse from xfs_bwrite and let the caller handle it to
mirror the delwri and read paths.
Also remove the mount pointer passed to xfs_bwrite, which is superflous now
that we have a mount pointer in the buftarg.

Unify the ways we add buffers to the delwri queue by always calling
xfs_buf_delwri_queue directly. The xfs_bdwrite functions is removed and
opencoded in its callers, and the two places setting XBF_DELWRI while a
buffer is locked and expecting xfs_buf_unlock to pick it up are converted
to call xfs_buf_delwri_queue directly, too. Also replace the
XFS_BUF_UNDELAYWRITE macro with direct calls to xfs_buf_delwri_dequeue
to make the explicit queuing/dequeuing more obvious.

Do not transfer a reference held by the caller to the buffer on the list,
or decrement it in xfs_buf_delwri_queue, but instead grab a new reference
if needed, and let the caller drop its own reference. Also move setting
of the XBF_DELWRI and XBF_ASYNC flags into xfs_buf_delwri_queue, and
only do it if needed. Note that for now xfs_buf_unlock already has
XBF_DELWRI, but that will change in the following patches.

We can just unlock the buffer in the caller, and the decrement of b_hold
would also be needed in the !unlock, we just never hit that case currently

We cannot ever reach xfs_buf_iorequest for a buffer with XBF_DELWRI set,

Use the move from Linux 2.6 to Linux 3.x as an excuse to kill the
annoying subdirectories in the XFS source code. Besides the large
amount of file rename the only changes are to the Makefile, a few
files including headers with the subdirectory prefix, and the binary
sysctl compat code that includes a header under fs/xfs/ from
kernel/.
