xfs: replace i_flock with a sleeping bitlock
We almost never block on i_flock, the exception is synchronous inode flushing. Instead of bloating the inode with a 16/24-byte completion that we abuse as a semaphore just implement it as a bitlock that uses a bit waitqueue for the rare sleeping path. This primarily is a tradeoff between a much smaller inode and a faster non-blocking path vs faster wakeups, and we are much better off with the former. A small downside is that we will lose lockdep checking for i_flock, but given that it's always taken inside the ilock that should be acceptable. Note that for example the inode writeback locking is implemented in a very similar way.
