locks: move file_lock_list to a set of percpu hlist_heads and convert file_lock_lock to an lglock
The file_lock_list is only used for /proc/locks. The vastly common case is for locks to be put onto the list and come off again, without ever being traversed. Help optimize for this use-case by moving to percpu hlist_head-s. At the same time, we can make the locking less contentious by moving to an lglock. When iterating over the lists for /proc/locks, we must take the global lock and then iterate over each CPU's list in turn. This change necessitates a new fl_link_cpu field to keep track of which CPU the entry is on. On x86_64 at least, this field is placed within an existing hole in the struct to avoid growing the size.
