erofs: convert workstn to XArray
XArray has friendly APIs and it will replace the old radix tree in the near future. This convert makes use of __xa_cmpxchg when inserting on a just inserted item by other thread. In detail, instead of totally looking up again as what we did for the old radix tree, it will try to legitimize the current in-tree item in the XArray therefore more effective. In addition, naming is rather a challenge for non-English speaker like me. The basic idea of workstn is to provide a runtime sparse array with items arranged in the physical block number order. Such items (was called workgroup) can be used to record compress clusters or for later new features. However, both workgroup and workstn seem not good names from whatever point of view, so I'd like to rename them as pslot and managed_pslots to stand for physical slots. This patch handles the second as a part of the radix tree convert.
