Currently, ->lru is a way to arrange non-LRU pages and has some
in-kernel users. In order to minimize noticable issues of page
reclaim and cache thrashing under high memory presure, limited
temporary pages were all chained with ->lru and can be reused
during the request. However, it seems that ->lru could be removed
when folio is landing.
Let's use page->private to chain temporary pages for now instead
and transform EROFS formally after the topic of the folio / file
page design is finalized.

To deal the with the cases which inplace decompression is infeasible
for some inplace I/O. Per-CPU buffers was introduced to get rid of page
allocation latency and thrash for low-latency decompression algorithms
such as lz4.
For the big pcluster feature, introduce multipage per-CPU buffers to
keep such inplace I/O pclusters temporarily as well but note that
per-CPU pages are just consecutive virtually.
When a new big pcluster fs is mounted, its max pclustersize will be
read and per-CPU buffers can be growed if needed. Shrinking adjustable
per-CPU buffers is more complex (because we don't know if such size
is still be used), so currently just release them all when unloading.
