xfs: fix cpu hotplug mess [v2]
Ritesh and Eric separately reported crashes in XFS's hook function for
CPU hot remove if the remove event races with a filesystem being
mounted. I also noticed via generic/650 that once in a while the log
will shut down over an apparent overrun of a transaction reservation;
this turned out to be due to CIL percpu list aggregation failing to pick
up the percpu list items from a dying CPU.
Either way, the solution here is to eliminate the need for a CPU dying
hook by using a private cpumask to track which CPUs have added to their
percpu lists directly, and iterating with that mask. This fixes the log
problems and (I think) solves a theoretical UAF bug in the inodegc code
too.
v2: fix a few put_cpu uses, add necessary memory barriers, and use
atomic cpumask operations
This has been lightly tested with fstests. Enjoy!
