Linus Torvalds f3f86e33dc vfs: Fix pathological performance case for __alloc_fd()
Al Viro points out that:
> >     * [Linux-specific aside] our __alloc_fd() can degrade quite badly
> > with some use patterns.  The cacheline pingpong in the bitmap is probably
> > inevitable, unless we accept considerably heavier memory footprint,

And Eric Dumazet has a somewhat realistic multithreaded microbenchmark
that opens and closes a lot of sockets with minimal work per socket.

This patch largely fixes it.  We keep a 2nd-level bitmap of the open
file bitmaps, showing which words are already full.  So then we can
traverse that second-level bitmap to efficiently skip already allocated
file descriptors.

On his benchmark, this improves performance by up to an order of
magnitude, by avoiding the excessive open file bitmap scanning.
