fs/locks: Replace lg_global with a percpu-rwsem
Replace the global part of the lglock with a percpu-rwsem. Since fcl_lock is a spinlock and itself nests under i_lock, which too is a spinlock we cannot acquire sleeping locks at locks_{insert,remove}_global_locks(). We can however wrap all fcl_lock acquisitions with percpu_down_read such that all invocations of locks_{insert,remove}_global_locks() have that read lock held. This allows us to replace the lg_global part of the lglock with the write side of the rwsem. In the absense of writers, percpu_{down,up}_read() are free of atomic instructions. This further avoids the very long preempt-disable regions caused by lglock on larger machines.
