[PATCH v2 0/4] mm: split the file's i_mmap tree for NUMA

  In NUMA, there are maybe many NUMA nodes and many CPUs.
For example, a Hygon's server has 12 NUMA nodes, and 384 CPUs.
In the UnixBench tests, there is a test "execl" which tests
the execve system call.

  When we test our server with "./Run -c 384 execl",
the test result is not good enough. The i_mmap locks contended heavily on
"libc.so" and "ld.so". For example, the i_mmap tree for "libc.so" can have 
over 6000 VMAs, all the VMAs can be in different NUMA mode.
The insert/remove operations do not run quickly enough.

patch 1 & patch 2 are try to hide the direct access of i_mmap.
patch 3 splits the i_mmap into sibling trees, each tree has separate lock,
and we can get better performance with this patch set in our NUMA server:
    we can get over 400% performance improvement.

I did not test the non-NUMA case, since I do not have such server.    
    
v1 --> v2:
	Not only split the immap tree, but also split the lock.
