[PATCH] Use atomic_t and wait_event to track dquot pincount

[Peter Leckie <pleckie@xxxxxxx>]

During a heavy workload with quota's enabled the system can stall with 
every process
requesting log space, however the log is full of dquots. The aild is 
trying to push the tail
of the log however every item in the log had previously been pushed by 
the aild and was
marked as clean so the aild aborts pushing the items in the log.

The reason the log items are still in the log is because the iodone 
routine xfs_qm_dqflush_done
detected that the log sequence number(lsn) had changed and assumed the 
log item had been re-dirtied
so it should be left in the log.  However the log item had not been 
re-dirtied so it was still marked as
clean preventing it from being pushed again causing the log item to be 
stuck in the log. After a while
the log eventually filled with these dquot log items.

The reason the lsn had changed was due to it not being initialized by 
the time a copy of the lsn was taken
in xfs_qm_dqflush().  The lsn was then latter updated causing the test 
in xfs_qm_dqflush_done() to fail.

Synchronizations between the 2 functions is done by the pincount in 
struct xfs_dquot_t  and xfs_qm_dqflush()
calls xfs_qm_dqunpin_wait() to wait for the pincount == 0. However after 
been woken up it does not validate
the pincount is actually 0, allowing a false wake up by the scheduler to 
cause xfs_qm_dqflush() to prematurely
start processing the dquot.

So 
this patch uses an atomic_t to track the pincount which allows us to easily
use the wait_event macro to wait, this will guarantee 
that when we return from
xfs_qm_dqunpin_wait() that the pincount == 0.  We also remove the global 
qi_pinlock
from xfs_quotainfo which may also reduce contention when pinning dquot's.
