fs: fs_struct use seqlock
Use a seqlock in the fs_struct to enable us to take an atomic copy of the
complete cwd and root paths. Use this in the RCU lookup path to avoid a
thread-shared spinlock in RCU lookup operations.
Multi-threaded apps may now perform path lookups with scalability matching
multi-process apps. Operations such as stat(2) become very scalable for
multi-threaded workload.
