fs: Remove the now superfluous sentinel elements from ctl_table array

This commit comes at the tail end of a greater effort to remove the
empty elements at the end of the ctl_table arrays (sentinels) which
will reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time
memory bloat by ~64 bytes per sentinel (further information Link :
https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZO5Yx5JFogGi%2FcBo@bombadil.infradead.org/)

Remove sentinel elements ctl_table struct. Special attention was placed in
making sure that an empty directory for fs/verity was created when
CONFIG_FS_VERITY_BUILTIN_SIGNATURES is not defined. In this case we use the
register sysctl call that expects a size.

xfs: simplify two-level sysctl registration for xfs_table

There is no need to declare two tables to just create directories,
this can be easily be done with a prefix path with register_sysctl().

Simplify this registration.

xfs: restore speculative_cow_prealloc_lifetime sysctl

In commit 9669f51de5c0 I tried to get rid of the undocumented cow gc
lifetime knob. The knob's function was never documented and it now
doesn't really have a function since eof and cow gc have been
consolidated.

Regrettably, xfs/231 relies on it and regresses on for-next. I did not
succeed at getting far enough through fstests patch review for the fixup
to land in time.

Restore the sysctl knob, document what it did (does?), put it on the
deprecation schedule, and rip out a redundant function.

xfs: consolidate the eofblocks and cowblocks workers

Remove the separate cowblocks work items and knob so that we can control
and run everything from a single blockgc work queue. Note that the
speculative_prealloc_lifetime sysfs knob retains its historical name
even though the functions move to prefix xfs_blockgc_*.

xfs: remove deprecated sysctl options

These optionr were for Irix compatibility, probably for clustered XFS

machines, so that behavior would be consistent. That doesn't exist anymore

sysctl: pass kernel pointers to ->proc_handler

Instead of having all the sysctl handlers deal with user pointers, which
is rather hairy in terms of the BPF interaction, copy the input to and
from userspace in common code. This also means that the strings are
always NUL-terminated by the common code, making the API a little bit
safer.

As most handler just pass through the data to one of the common handlers
a lot of the changes are mechnical.

xfs: remove unused header files

There are many, many xfs header files which are included but
unneeded (or included twice) in the xfs code, so remove them.

nb: xfs_linux.h includes about 9 headers for everyone, so those
explicit includes get removed by this. I'm not sure what the
preference is, but if we wanted explicit includes everywhere,
a followup patch could remove those xfs_*.h includes from
xfs_linux.h and move them into the files that need them.
Or it could be left as-is.

xfs: convert to SPDX license tags

Remove the verbose license text from XFS files and replace them
with SPDX tags. This does not change the license of any of the code,
merely refers to the common, up-to-date license files in LICENSES/

This change was mostly scripted. fs/xfs/Makefile and
fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_fs.h were modified by hand, the rest were detected
and modified by the following command:

for f in `git grep -l "GNU General" fs/xfs/` ; do
echo $f
cat $f | awk -f hdr.awk > $f.new
mv -f $f.new $f
done

And the hdr.awk script that did the modification (including
detecting the difference between GPL-2.0 and GPL-2.0+ licenses)
is as follows:

$ cat hdr.awk
BEGIN {
hdr = 1.0
tag = "GPL-2.0"
str = ""
}

/^ \* This program is free software/ {
hdr = 2.0;
next
}

/any later version./ {
tag = "GPL-2.0+"
next
}

/^ \*\// {
if (hdr > 0.0) {
print "// SPDX-License-Identifier: " tag
print str
print $0
str=""
hdr = 0.0
next
}
print $0
next
}

/^ \* / {
if (hdr > 1.0)
next
if (hdr > 0.0) {
if (str != "")
str = str "\n"
str = str $0
next
}
print $0
next
}

/^ \*/ {
if (hdr > 0.0)
next
print $0
next
}

// {
if (hdr > 0.0) {
if (str != "")
str = str "\n"
str = str $0

xfs: garbage collect old cowextsz reservations

Trim CoW reservations made on behalf of a cowextsz hint if they get too
old or we run low on quota, so long as we don't have dirty data awaiting
writeback or directio operations in progress.

Garbage collection of the cowextsize extents are kept separate from
prealloc extent reaping because setting the CoW prealloc lifetime to a
(much) higher value than the regular prealloc extent lifetime has been
useful for combatting CoW fragmentation on VM hosts where the VMs
experience bursty write behaviors and we can keep the utilization ratios
low enough that we don't start to run out of space. IOWs, it benefits
us to keep the CoW fork reservations around for as long as we can unless
we run out of blocks or hit inode reclaim.

xfs: pass xfsstats structures to handlers and macros

This patch is the next step toward per-fs xfs stats. The patch makes
the show and clear routines able to handle any stats structure
associated with a kobject.

Instead of a single global xfsstats structure, add kobject and a pointer
to a per-cpu struct xfsstats. Modify the macros that manipulate the stats
accordingly: XFS_STATS_INC, XFS_STATS_DEC, and XFS_STATS_ADD now access
xfsstats->xs_stats.

The sysfs functions need to get from the kobject back to the xfsstats
structure which contains it, and pass the pointer to the ->xs_stats
percpu structure into the show & clear routines.

xfs: add background scanning to clear eofblocks inodes

Create a new mount workqueue and delayed_work to enable background
scanning and freeing of eofblocks inodes. The scanner kicks in once
speculative preallocation occurs and stops requeueing itself when
no eofblocks inodes exist.

The scan interval is based on the new
'speculative_prealloc_lifetime' tunable (default to 5m). The
background scanner performs unfiltered, best effort scans (which
skips inodes under lock contention or with a dirty cache mapping).

sysctl compat code that includes a header under fs/xfs/ from
