In an effort to address slab fragmentation issues reported a few
months ago, I've replaced the use of xarrays for the directory
offset map in "simple" file systems (including tmpfs).

Thanks to Liam Howlett for helping me get this working with Maple
Trees.

I don't have the facilities to re-run the performance tests that
identified the original regression. Oliver, Feng, can you please
pass this series to the kernel robot?

These patches are also available from:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cel/linux.git

in the "simple-offset-maple" branch.

Changes since RFC:
- Rewrote and moved "Re-arrange locking" to the front of the series
- Squashed the "so_ctx" clean-ups into the other patches
- Clarified some patch descriptions
