NFS: Reduce inode->i_lock contention in nfs_lock_and_join_requests()

Browse source

We should no longer need the inode->i_lock, now that we've
straightened out the request locking. The locking schema is now:

1) Lock page head request
2) Lock the page group
3) Lock the subrequests one by one

Note that there is a subtle race with nfs_inode_remove_request() due
to the fact that the latter does not lock the page head, when removing
it from the struct page. Only the last subrequest is locked, hence
we need to re-check that the PagePrivate(page) is still set after
we've locked all the subrequests.
