vfs: add find_inode_nowait() function

Add a new function find_inode_nowait() which is an even more general
version of ilookup5_nowait().  It is designed for callers which need
very fine grained control over when the function is allowed to block
or increment the inode's reference count.

/**
* find_inode_nowait - find an inode in the inode cache
* @sb: super block of file system to search
* @hashval: hash value (usually inode number) to search for
* @match: callback used for comparisons between inodes
* @data: opaque data pointer to pass to @match
*
* Search for the inode specified by @hashval and @data in the inode
* cache, where the helper function @match will return 0 if the inode
* does not match, 1 if the inode does match, and -1 if the search
* should be stopped. The @match function must be responsible for
* taking the i_lock spin_lock and checking i_state for an inode being
* freed or being initialized, and incrementing the reference count
* before returning 1. It also must not sleep, since it is called with
* the inode_hash_lock spinlock held.
*
* This is a even more generalized version of ilookup5() when the
* function must never block --- find_inode() can block in
* __wait_on_freeing_inode() --- or when the caller can not increment
* the reference count because the resulting iput() might cause an
* inode eviction. The tradeoff is that the @match funtion must be
* very carefully implemented.
