[PATCH v11 03/25] dcache: convert dentry_stat.nr_unused to per-cpu counters

[Glauber Costa <glommer@openvz.org>]

From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>

Before we split up the dcache_lru_lock, the unused dentry counter
needs to be made independent of the global dcache_lru_lock. Convert
it to per-cpu counters to do this.

[ v11: updated comments about the handcrafted percpu implementation ]
[ v5: comment about possible cpus ]
