The d_path() and related kernel functions currently take a writer
lock on rename_lock because they need to follow pointers. By changing
rename_lock to be the new sequence read/write lock, a reader lock
can be taken and multiple d_path() threads can proceed concurrently
without blocking each other.
It is unlikely that the frequency of filesystem changes and d_path()
name lookup will be high enough to cause writer starvation, the current
limitation of the read/write lock should be acceptable in that case.
All the sites where rename_lock is referenced were modified to use the
sequence read/write lock declaration and access functions.
When apply this patch to 3.8 or earlier releases, the unused function
d_path_with_unreachable() in fs/dcache.c should be removed to avoid
compilation warning.
