[XFS] Remove the xfs_icluster structure

Remove the xfs_icluster structure and replace with a radix tree lookup.

We don't need to keep a list of inodes in each cluster around anymore as
we can look them up quickly when we need to. The only time we need to do
this now is during inode writeback.

Factor the inode cluster writeback code out of xfs_iflush and convert it
to use radix_tree_gang_lookup() instead of walking a list of inodes built
when we first read in the inodes.

This remove 3 pointers from each xfs_inode structure and the xfs_icluster
structure per inode cluster. Hence we reduce the cache footprint of the
xfs_inodes by between 5-10% depending on cluster sparseness.

To be truly efficient we need a radix_tree_gang_lookup_range() call to
stop searching once we are past the end of the cluster instead of trying
to find a full cluster's worth of inodes.

Before (ia64):

$ cat /sys/slab/xfs_inode/object_size 536

After:

$ cat /sys/slab/xfs_inode/object_size 512
