    ms/fs/file.c: don't acquire files->file_lock in fd_install()
    
    Patchset description:
    Shrink big fdtable on criu restore
    
    This patchset allows to avoid memory overuse introduced by service fds on criu
    restore.
    The solution is simple: smartly check for closed fd number, and shrink fdtable
    if this could be made. The checks are happen in is_pseudosuper mode, so we do
    not affect performance on normal work mode.
    
    The problem is we can't solve this for 100% case in userspace.
    Kernel allows to fix that completely.

          files: Add new argument to expand_files()
          files: Add fdtable_align() helper

          ms/vfs: grab the lock instead of blocking in __fd_install during resizing
    
    ============================================================
    This patch description:
    
    ms commit 8a81252b774b5
    
    Mateusz Guzik reported :
    
     Currently obtaining a new file descriptor results in locking fdtable
     twice - once in order to reserve a slot and second time to fill it.
    
    Holding the spinlock in __fd_install() is needed in case a resize is
    done, or to prevent a resize.
    
    Mateusz provided an RFC patch and a micro benchmark :
      http://people.redhat.com/~mguzik/pipebench.c
    
    A resize is an unlikely operation in a process lifetime,
    as table size is at least doubled at every resize.
    
    We can use RCU instead of the spinlock.
    
    __fd_install() must wait if a resize is in progress.
    
    The resize must block new __fd_install() callers from starting,
    and wait that ongoing install are finished (synchronize_sched())
    
    resize should be attempted by a single thread to not waste resources.
    
    rcu_sched variant is used, as __fd_install() and expand_fdtable() run
    from process context.
    
    It gives us a ~30% speedup using pipebench on a dual Intel(R) Xeon(R)
    CPU E5-2696 v2 @ 2.50GHz
