The netfs_inode::wb_lock mutex is used to prevent multiple simultaneous
writebacks from fighting each other (a writeback thread will write multiple
discontiguous regions within the same request). The mutex, however, only
serialises the issuing of subrequests; it doesn't serialise the collection
of results, and, in particular, the updating of file size information and
fscache populatedness data.
Unfortunately, the mutex cannot be held around the entire process as it has
to be unlocked in the same thread in which it is locked - and we don't want
to hold up the allocator whilst we complete the writeback.
Fix this by replacing the mutex with a bit flag and a list of lock waiters
so that the lock can be dropped in the collector thread after collection is
complete.

In the I/O locking code borrowed from NFS into netfslib, i_rwsem is held
locked across a buffered write - but this causes a performance regression
in cifs as it excludes buffered reads for the duration (cifs didn't use any
locking for buffered reads).
Mitigate this somewhat by downgrading the i_rwsem to a read lock across the
buffered write. This at least allows parallel reads to occur whilst
excluding other writes, DIO, truncate and setattr.
Note that this shouldn't be a problem for a buffered write as a read
through an mmap can circumvent i_rwsem anyway.
Also note that we might want to make this change in NFS also.

Afaict, we can just rely on inode->i_dio_count for waiting instead of
this awkward indirection through __I_DIO_WAKEUP. This survives LTP dio
and xfstests dio tests.

Borrow NFS's direct-vs-buffered I/O locking into netfslib. Similar code is
also used in ceph.
Modify it to have the correct checker annotations for i_rwsem lock
acquisition/release and to return -ERESTARTSYS if waits are interrupted.
