xfs: remove filestream item xfs_inode reference
The filestreams allocator stores an xfs_fstrm_item structure in the MRU to cache inode number to agno mappings for a particular length of time. Each xfs_fstrm_item contains the internal MRU structure, an inode pointer and agno value. The inode pointer stored in the xfs_fstrm_item is not referenced, however, which means the inode itself can be removed and reclaimed before the MRU item is freed. If this occurs, xfs_fstrm_free_func() can access freed or unrelated memory through xfs_fstrm_item->ip and crash. The obvious solution is to grab an inode reference for xfs_fstrm_item. The filestream mechanism only actually uses the inode pointer as a means to access the xfs_mount, however. Rather than add unnecessary complexity, simplify the implementation to store an xfs_mount pointer in struct xfs_mru_cache, and pass it to the free callback. This also requires updates to the tracepoint class to provide the associated data via parameters rather than the inode and a minor hack to peek at the MRU key to establish the inode number at free time. Based on debugging work and an earlier patch from Brian Foster, who also wrote most of this changelog.
