fs: use percpu counter for nr_dentry and nr_dentry_unused
The nr_dentry stat is a globally touched cacheline and atomic operation
twice over the lifetime of a dentry. It is used for the benfit of userspace
only. Turn it into a per-cpu counter and always decrement it in d_free instead
of doing various batching operations to reduce lock hold times in the callers.
Based on an earlier patch from Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de>.
