fs: introduce a per-cpu last_ino allocator
new_inode() dirties a contended cache line to get increasing
inode numbers. This limits performance on workloads that cause
significant parallel inode allocation.
Solve this problem by using a per_cpu variable fed by the shared
last_ino in batches of 1024 allocations. This reduces contention on
the shared last_ino, and give same spreading ino numbers than before
(i.e. same wraparound after 2^32 allocations).
