[PATCH v2] ceph: do not update snapshot context when there is no new snapshot

[xiubli@redhat.com]

From: Xiubo Li <xiubli@redhat.com>

We will only track the uppest parent snapshot realm from which we
need to rebuild the snapshot contexts _downward_ in hierarchy. For
all the others having no new snapshot we will do nothing.

This fix will avoid calling ceph_queue_cap_snap() on some inodes
inappropriately. For example, with the code in mainline, suppose there
are 2 directory hierarchies (with 6 directories total), like this:

/dir_X1/dir_X2/dir_X3/
/dir_Y1/dir_Y2/dir_Y3/

Firstly, make a snapshot under /dir_X1/dir_X2/.snap/snap_X2, then make a
root snapshot under /.snap/root_snap. Every time we make snapshots under
/dir_Y1/..., the kclient will always try to rebuild the snap context for
snap_X2 realm and finally will always try to queue cap snaps for dir_Y2
and dir_Y3, which makes no sense.

That's because the snap_X2's seq is 2 and root_snap's seq is 3. So when
creating a new snapshot under /dir_Y1/... the new seq will be 4, and
the mds will send the kclient a snapshot backtrace in _downward_
order: seqs 4, 3.

When ceph_update_snap_trace() is called, it will always rebuild the from
the last realm, that's the root_snap. So later when rebuilding the snap
context, the current logic will always cause it to rebuild the snap_X2
realm and then try to queue cap snaps for all the inodes related in that
realm, even though it's not necessary.

This is accompanied by a lot of these sorts of dout messages:

    "ceph:  queue_cap_snap 00000000a42b796b nothing dirty|writing"

Fix the logic to avoid this situation.

The 'invalidate' word is not precise here, acutally it will rebuild
the snapshot existing contexts or just build none-existing ones,
rename it to 'rebuild_snapcs'.

Changed in V2:
- Thanks Zheng's feedback and switched to Zheng's patch.
- Rename invalidate to rebuild_snapcs.
