fasync: re-organize fasync entry insertion to allow it under a spinlock
You currently cannot use "fasync_helper()" in an atomic environment to
insert a new fasync entry, because it will need to allocate the new
"struct fasync_struct".
Yet fcntl_setlease() wants to call this under lock_flocks(), which is in
the process of being converted from the BKL to a spinlock.
In order to fix this, this abstracts out the actual fasync list
insertion and the fasync allocations into functions of their own, and
teaches fs/locks.c to pre-allocate the fasync_struct entry. That way
the actual list insertion can happen while holding the required
spinlock.
