quota: Reduce contention on dq_data_lock
dq_data_lock is currently used to protect all modifications of quota accounting information, consistency of quota accounting on the inode, and dquot pointers from inode. As a result contention on the lock can be pretty heavy. Reduce the contention on the lock by protecting quota accounting information by a new dquot->dq_dqb_lock and consistency of quota accounting with inode usage by inode->i_lock. This change reduces time to create 500000 files on ext4 on ramdisk by 50 different processes in separate directories by 6% when user quota is turned on. When those 50 processes belong to 50 different users, the improvement is about 9%. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
