fs/mbcache.c: doucple the locking of local from global data
The patch increases the parallelism of mbcache by using the built-in lock in the hlist_bl_node to protect the mb_cache's local block and index hash chains. The global data mb_cache_lru_list and mb_cache_list continue to be protected by the global mb_cache_spinlock. New block group spinlock, mb_cache_bg_lock is also added to serialize accesses to mb_cache_entry's local data. A new member e_refcnt is added to the mb_cache_entry structure to help preventing an mb_cache_entry from being deallocated by a free while it is being referenced by either mb_cache_entry_get() or mb_cache_entry_find().
