new_inode() dirties a contended cache line to get increasing inode numbers. This limits performance on workloads that cause significant parallel inode allocation. Solve this problem by using a per_cpu variable fed by the shared last_ino in batches of 1024 allocations. This reduces contention on the shared last_ino, and give same spreading ino numbers than before (i.e. same wraparound after 2^32 allocations).
