PARTIAL TAKE 946630 - Contention on incore superblock lock

When running parallel I/O threads on machines with lots of
CPUs, the incore superblock lock becomes the limiting factor
for buffered write throughput. Make the contended fields in
the incore superblock use per-cpu counters so that there is
no global lock to limit scalability.
