Unfortunately, ocfs2 can no longer make use of generic_file_aio_write_nlock()
because allocating writes will require zeroing of pages adjacent to the I/O
for cluster sizes greater than page size.
Implement a custom file write here, which can order page locks for zeroing.
This also has the advantage that cluster locks can easily be ordered outside
of the page locks.

Introduce tree rotations into the b-tree code. This will allow ocfs2 to
support sparse files. Much of the added code is designed to be generic (in
the ocfs2 sense) so that it can later be re-used to implement large
extended attributes.
This patch only adds the rotation code and does minimal updates to callers
of the extent api.

Many struct inode_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

Implement .permission() in ocfs2_file_iops, ocfs2_special_file_iops and
ocfs2_dir_iops.
This helps us avoid some multi-node races with mode change and vfs
operations.

This is mostly a search and replace as ocfs2_journal_handle is now no more
than a container for a handle_t pointer.
ocfs2_commit_trans() becomes very straight forward, and we remove some out
of date comments / code.

This is a conversion to make the various file_operations structs in fs/
const. Basically a regexp job, with a few manual fixups
The goal is both to increase correctness (harder to accidentally write to
shared datastructures) and reducing the false sharing of cachelines with
things that get dirty in .data (while .rodata is nicely read only and thus
cache clean)
