Dave Chinner 610125ab1e xfs: speed up directory bestfree block scanning
When running a "create millions inodes in a directory" test
recently, I noticed we were spending a huge amount of time
converting freespace block headers from disk format to in-memory
format:

 31.47%  [kernel]  [k] xfs_dir2_node_addname
 17.86%  [kernel]  [k] xfs_dir3_free_hdr_from_disk
  3.55%  [kernel]  [k] xfs_dir3_free_bests_p

We shouldn't be hitting the best free block scanning code so hard
when doing sequential directory creates, and it turns out there's
a highly suboptimal loop searching the the best free array in
the freespace block - it decodes the block header before checking
each entry inside a loop, instead of decoding the header once before
running the entry search loop.

This makes a massive difference to create rates. Profile now looks
like this:

  13.15%  [kernel]  [k] xfs_dir2_node_addname
   3.52%  [kernel]  [k] xfs_dir3_leaf_check_int
   3.11%  [kernel]  [k] xfs_log_commit_cil

And the wall time/average file create rate differences are
just as stark:

		create time(sec) / rate (files/s)
File count	     vanilla		    patched
  10k		   0.41 / 24.3k		   0.42 / 23.8k
  20k		   0.74	/ 27.0k		   0.76 / 26.3k
 100k		   3.81	/ 26.4k		   3.47 / 28.8k
 200k		   8.58	/ 23.3k		   7.19 / 27.8k
   1M		  85.69	/ 11.7k		  48.53 / 20.6k
   2M		 280.31	/  7.1k		 130.14 / 15.3k

The larger the directory, the bigger the performance improvement.
