introduce I_SYNC 

I_LOCK was used for several unrelated purposes, which caused deadlock
situations in certain filesystems as a side effect.  One of the purposes
now uses the new I_SYNC bit.

Also document the various bits and change their order from historical to
logical.

/*
* Inode state bits. Protected by inode_lock.
*
* Three bits determine the dirty state of the inode, I_DIRTY_SYNC,
* I_DIRTY_DATASYNC and I_DIRTY_PAGES.
*
* Four bits define the lifetime of an inode. Initially, inodes are I_NEW,
* until that flag is cleared. I_WILL_FREE, I_FREEING and I_CLEAR are set at
* various stages of removing an inode.
*
* Two bits are used for locking and completion notification, I_LOCK and I_SYNC.
*
* I_DIRTY_SYNC Inode itself is dirty.
* I_DIRTY_DATASYNC Data-related inode changes pending
* I_DIRTY_PAGES Inode has dirty pages. Inode itself may be clean.
* I_NEW get_new_inode() sets i_state to I_LOCK|I_NEW. Both
* are cleared by unlock_new_inode(), called from iget().
* I_WILL_FREE Must be set when calling write_inode_now() if i_count
* is zero. I_FREEING must be set when I_WILL_FREE is
* cleared.
* I_FREEING Set when inode is about to be freed but still has dirty
* pages or buffers attached or the inode itself is still
* dirty.
* I_CLEAR Set by clear_inode(). In this state the inode is clean
* and can be destroyed.
*
* Inodes that are I_WILL_FREE, I_FREEING or I_CLEAR are
* prohibited for many purposes. iget() must wait for
* the inode to be completely released, then create it
* anew. Other functions will just ignore such inodes,
* if appropriate. I_LOCK is used for waiting.
*
* I_LOCK Serves as both a mutex and completion notification.
* New inodes set I_LOCK. If two processes both create
* the same inode, one of them will release its inode and
* wait for I_LOCK to be released before returning.
* Inodes in I_WILL_FREE, I_FREEING or I_CLEAR state can
* also cause waiting on I_LOCK, without I_LOCK actually
* being set. find_inode() uses this to prevent returning
* nearly-dead inodes.
* I_SYNC Similar to I_LOCK, but limited in scope to writeback
* of inode dirty data. Having a seperate lock for this
* purpose reduces latency and prevents some filesystem-
* specific deadlocks.
*
* Q: Why does I_DIRTY_DATASYNC exist? It appears as if it could be replaced
* by (I_DIRTY_SYNC|I_DIRTY_PAGES).
* Q: What is the difference between I_WILL_FREE and I_FREEING?
* Q: igrab() only checks on (I_FREEING|I_WILL_FREE). Should it also check on
* I_CLEAR? If not, why?
