Subject: [PATCH] shmem: Use raw_spinlock_t for ->stat_lock

Each CPU has SHMEM_INO_BATCH inodes available in `->ino_batch' which is
per-CPU. Access here is serialized by disabling preemption. If the pool is
empty, it gets reloaded from `->next_ino'. Access here is serialized by
->stat_lock which is a spinlock_t and can not be acquired with disabled
preemption.
One way around it would make per-CPU ino_batch struct containing the inode
number a local_lock_t.
Another sollution is to promote ->stat_lock to a raw_spinlock_t. The critical
sections are short. The mpol_put() should be moved outside of the critical
section to avoid invoking the destrutor with disabled preemption.
