fs: use percpu counter for nr_dentry and nr_dentry_unused
The nr_dentry stat is a globally touched cacheline and atomic operation twice over the lifetime of a dentry. It is used for the benfit of userspace only. Turn it into a per-cpu counter and always decrement it in d_free instead of doing various batching operations to reduce lock hold times in the callers. Based on an earlier patch from Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de>. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
