GFS2: Remember directory insert point
When we look to see if there is enough space to add a dir entry without allocation, we have then been repeating the same search later when we do the actual insertion. This patch caches the details of the location in the gfs2_diradd structure, so that we do not have to repeat the search. This will provide a performance improvement which will be greater as the size of the directory increases. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
