fs: add i_state helpers

Browse source

The i_state member is an unsigned long so that it can be used with the
wait bit infrastructure which expects unsigned long. This wastes 4 bytes
which we're unlikely to ever use. Switch to using the var event wait
mechanism using the address of the bit. Thanks to Linus for the address
idea.
