xfs: cache unlinked pointers in an rhashtable

Use a rhashtable to cache the unlinked list incore.  This should speed
up unlinked processing considerably when there are a lot of inodes on
the unlinked list because iunlink_remove no longer has to traverse an
entire bucket list to find which inode points to the one being removed.

The incore list structure records "X.next_unlinked = Y" relations, with
the rhashtable using Y to index the records.  This makes finding the
inode X that points to a inode Y very quick.  If our cache fails to find
anything we can always fall back on the old method.

FWIW this drastically reduces the amount of time it takes to remove
inodes from the unlinked list.  I wrote a program to open a lot of
O_TMPFILE files and then close them in the same order, which takes
a very long time if we have to traverse the unlinked lists.  With the
ptach, I see:

+ /d/t/tmpfile/tmpfile
Opened 193531 files in 6.33s.
Closed 193531 files in 5.86s

real    0m12.192s
user    0m0.064s
sys     0m11.619s
+ cd /
+ umount /mnt

real    0m0.050s
user    0m0.004s
sys     0m0.030s

And without the patch:

+ /d/t/tmpfile/tmpfile
Opened 193588 files in 6.35s.
Closed 193588 files in 751.61s

real    12m38.853s
user    0m0.084s
sys     12m34.470s
+ cd /
+ umount /mnt

real    0m0.086s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.060s
