We don't need to keep track of when we last allocated data
and metadata separately since the only thing thats important
when searching for a free block is whether its free or not,
which is independent from what type of block it is.

There were three fields being used to keep track of the location
of the most recently allocated block for each inode. These have
been merged into a single field in order to better keep the
data and metadata for an inode close on disk, and also to reduce
the space required for storage.

This patch forms a pair with the previous patch which shrunk
di_height. Like that patch di_depth is renamed i_depth and moved
into struct gfs2_inode directly. Also the field goes from 16 bits
to 8 bits since it is also limited to a max value which is rather
small (17 in this case). In addition we also now validate the field
against this maximum value when its read in.

The functions in lm.c were just wrappers which were mostly
only used in one other file. By moving the functions to
the files where they are being used, they can be marked
static and also this will usually result in them being inlined
since they are often only used from one point in the code.
A couple of really trivial functions have been inlined by hand
into the function which called them as it makes the code clearer
to do that.
We also gain from one fewer function call in the glock lock and
unlock paths.

The reason for doing this is to allow all the block mapping code
to share the same array. As a result we can remove two arguments
from lookup_metapath since they are now returned via the array.
We also add a function to drop all refs to buffer heads when we
are done with the metapath. The build_height function shares the
struct metapath, but currently still frees its own buffers, and
this will change in a future patch.

This patch is performance related. When we're doing a log flush,
I noticed we were calling buf_lo_incore_commit twice: once for
data bufs and once for metadata bufs. Since this is the same
function and does the same thing in both cases, there should be
no reason to call it twice. Since we only need to call it once,
we can also make it faster by removing it from the generic "lops"
code and making it a stand-along static function.

This patch improves the calculation of the tree height in order to reduce
the number of operations which are carried out on each call to gfs2_block_map.
In the common case, we now make a single comparison, rather than calculating
the required tree height from scratch each time. Also in the case that the
tree does need some extra height, we start from the current height rather from
zero when we work out what the new height ought to be.
In addition the di_height field is moved into the inode proper and reduced
in size to a u8 since the value must be between 0 and GFS2_MAX_META_HEIGHT (10).

This patch removes the call to gfs2_extent_map from gfs2_write_alloc_required,
instead we call gfs2_block_map directly. This results in fewer overall calls
to gfs2_block_map in the multi-block case.
Also, gfs2_extent_map is marked as deprecated so that people know that its
going away as soon as all the callers have been converted.

These messages are a regression compared with 2.6.24, which did not
flood the syslog with them.
The actual underlying problem was introduced in 2.6.23, when somebody
made the string parsing no longer accept nul-terminated strings as a
valid input to store_uevent().
Eg. "add\0" was valid prior to 2.6.23, where the code regressed to
require "add" without the '\0'.
This patch fixes the 2.6.23 / 2.6.24 regressions, by having the code
once again tolerate the trailing '\0', if present.
According to GregKH, this mainly affects older Ubuntu systems, such as
the one I have here that requires this fix.

When getting disconnected we need to release eventual grabs on the
underlying input device as we also release the input device itself.
Otherwise, we would try to release the grab when the client that
requested it closes its handle, accessing the input device which
might already be freed.
