[PATCH v2 2/5] fs: Use a percpu_counter to track nr_inodes

[Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com>]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 481 bytes --]

Avoids cache line ping pongs between cpus and prepare next patch,
because updates of nr_inodes dont need inode_lock anymore.

(socket8 bench result : no difference at this point)
