Ming Lei 3301bc5335 lib/sbitmap: kill 'depth' from sbitmap_word
Only the last sbitmap_word can have different depth, and all the others
must have same depth of 1U << sb->shift, so not necessary to store it in
sbitmap_word, and it can be retrieved easily and efficiently by adding
one internal helper of __map_depth(sb, index).

Remove 'depth' field from sbitmap_word, then the annotation of
____cacheline_aligned_in_smp for 'word' isn't needed any more.

Not see performance effect when running high parallel IOPS test on
null_blk.

This way saves us one cacheline(usually 64 words) per each sbitmap_word.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
