RFC patchset to reduce usage of global locks in kernfs operations.

PATCH-1: Move kernfs_open_file_mutex and kernfs_open_node_lock within
         kernfs_node.

PATCH-2: Use per kernfs_node specific lock to access permissions

------------------------------------------------------------------

Changes since v1:
 - Introduce PATCH-2 to reduce contention seen around kernfs_rwsem after 
   introduction of PATCH-1.

Imran Khan (2):
  kernfs: use kernfs_node specific mutex and spinlock.
  kernfs: Reduce contention around global per-fs kernfs_rwsem.
