xfs: active perag reference counting

Source kernel commit: c4d5660afbdcd3f0fa3bbf563e059511fba8445f

We need to be able to dynamically remove instantiated AGs from
memory safely, either for shrinking the filesystem or paging AG
state in and out of memory (e.g. supporting millions of AGs). This
means we need to be able to safely exclude operations from accessing
perags while dynamic removal is in progress.

To do this, introduce the concept of active and passive references.
Active references are required for high level operations that make
use of an AG for a given operation (e.g. allocation) and pin the
perag in memory for the duration of the operation that is operating
on the perag (e.g. transaction scope). This means we can fail to get
an active reference to an AG, hence callers of the new active
reference API must be able to handle lookup failure gracefully.

Passive references are used in low level code, where we might need
to access the perag structure for the purposes of completing high
level operations. For example, buffers need to use passive
references because:
- we need to be able to do metadata IO during operations like grow
and shrink transactions where high level active references to the
AG have already been blocked
- buffers need to pin the perag until they are reclaimed from
memory, something that high level code has no direct control over.
- unused cached buffers should not prevent a shrink from being
started.

Hence we have active references that will form exclusion barriers
for operations to be performed on an AG, and passive references that
will prevent reclaim of the perag until all objects with passive
references have been reclaimed themselves.

This patch introduce xfs_perag_grab()/xfs_perag_rele() as the API
for active AG reference functionality. We also need to convert the
for_each_perag*() iterators to use active references, which will
start the process of converting high level code over to using active
references. Conversion of non-iterator based code to active
references will be done in followup patches.

Note that the implementation using reference counting is really just
a development vehicle for the API to ensure we don't have any leaks
in the callers. Once we need to remove perag structures from memory
dyanmically, we will need a much more robust per-ag state transition
mechanism for preventing new references from being taken while we
wait for existing references to drain before removal from memory can
occur....
