Ian Kent 47b5c64d0a kernfs: use i_lock to protect concurrent inode updates
The inode operations .permission() and .getattr() use the kernfs node
write lock but all that's needed is the read lock to protect against
partial updates of these kernfs node fields which are all done under
the write lock.

And .permission() is called frequently during path walks and can cause
quite a bit of contention between kernfs node operations and path
walks when the number of concurrent walks is high.

To change kernfs_iop_getattr() and kernfs_iop_permission() to take
the rw sem read lock instead of the write lock an additional lock is
needed to protect against multiple processes concurrently updating
the inode attributes and link count in kernfs_refresh_inode().

The inode i_lock seems like the sensible thing to use to protect these
inode attribute updates so use it in kernfs_refresh_inode().

The last hunk in the patch, applied to kernfs_fill_super(), is possibly
not needed but taking the lock was present originally. I prefer to
continue to take it to protect against a partial update of the source
kernfs fields during the call to kernfs_refresh_inode() made by
kernfs_get_inode().
