For CRC enabled filesystems, we can't just swap inode forks from one
inode to another when defragmenting a file - the blocks in the inode
fork bmap btree contain pointers back to the owner inode. Hence if
we are to swap the inode forks we have to atomically modify every
block in the btree during the transaction.
We are doing an entire fork swap here, so we could create a new
transaction item type that indicates we are changing the owner of a
certain structure from one value to another. If we combine this with
ordered buffer logging to modify all the buffers in the tree, then
we can change the buffers in the tree without needing log space for
the operation. However, this then requires log recovery to perform
the modification of the owner information of the objects/structures
in question.
This does introduce some interesting ordering details into recovery:
we have to make sure that the owner change replay occurs after the
change that moves the objects is made, not before. Hence we can't
use a separate log item for this as we have no guarantee of strict
ordering between multiple items in the log due to the relogging
action of asynchronous transaction commits. Hence there is no
"generic" method we can use for changing the ownership of arbitrary
metadata structures.
For inode forks, however, there is a simple method of communicating
that the fork contents need the owner rewritten - we can pass a
inode log format flag for the fork for the transaction that does a
fork swap. This flag will then follow the inode fork through
relogging actions so when the swap actually gets replayed the
ownership can be changed immediately by log recovery. So that gives
us a simple method of "whole fork" exchange between two inodes.
This is relatively simple to implement, so it makes sense to do this
as an initial implementation to support xfs_fsr on CRC enabled
filesytems in the same manner as we do on existing filesystems. This
commit introduces the swapext driven functionality, the recovery
functionality will be in a separate patch.

With the new xfs_trans_res structure has been introduced, the log
reservation size, log count as well as log flags are pre-initialized
at mount time. So it's time to refine xfs_trans_reserve() interface
to be more neat.
Also, introduce a new helper M_RES() to return a pointer to the
mp->m_resv structure to simplify the input.

So we don't need xfs_dfrag.h in userspace anymore, move the extent
swap ioctl structure definition to xfs_fs.h where most of the other
ioctl structure definitions are.
Now that we don't need separate files for extent swapping, separate
the basic file descriptor checking code to xfs_ioctl.c, and the code
that does the extent swap operation to xfs_bmap_util.c. This
cleanly separates the user interface code from the physical
mechanism used to do the extent swap.

Now we have xfs_inode.c for holding kernel-only XFS inode
operations, move all the inode operations from xfs_vnodeops.c to
this new file as it holds another set of kernel-only inode
operations. The name of this file traces back to the days of Irix
and it's vnodes which we don't have anymore.
Essentially this move consolidates the inode locking functions
and a bunch of XFS inode operations into the one file. Eventually
the high level functions will be merged into the VFS interface
functions in xfs_iops.c.
This leaves only internal preallocation, EOF block manipulation and
hole punching functions in vnodeops.c. Move these to xfs_bmap_util.c
where we are already consolidating various in-kernel physical extent
manipulation and querying functions.

There is a bunch of code in xfs_bmap.c that is kernel specific and
not shared with userspace. To minimise the difference between the
kernel and userspace code, shift this unshared code to
xfs_bmap_util.c, and the declarations to xfs_bmap_util.h.
The biggest issue here is xfs_bmap_finish() - userspace has it's own
definition of this function, and so we need to move it out of
xfs_bmap.[ch]. This means several other files need to include
xfs_bmap_util.h as well.
It also introduces and interesting dance for the stack switching
code in xfs_bmapi_allocate(). The stack switching/workqueue code is
actually moved to xfs_bmap_util.c, so that userspace can simply use
a #define in a header file to connect the dots without needing to
know about the stack switch code at all.
