vfs: introduce inode 'inuse' lock
Added an i_state flag I_INUSE and helpers to set/clear/test the bit. The 'inuse' lock is an 'advisory' inode lock, that can be used to extend exclusive create protection beyond parent->i_mutex lock among cooperating users. This is going to be used by overlayfs to get exclusive ownership on upper and work dirs among overlayfs mounts.
