I'm not sure that the locking in ceph_i_test() makes much sense.  The
condition we just checked could change one femtosecond after we dropped
the lock, so why take the lock?

Please review the entire fs and verify that all inlining decisions were
appropriate.  Unless this function has a single call site, this
decision wasn't appropriate.

And if it _does_ have a single callsite, it should be defined in the
relevant .c file, not in .h
