[PATCH v8 5/6] lib/dlock-list: Enable faster lookup with hashing

[Waiman Long]

Insertion and deletion is relatively cheap and mostly contention
free for dlock-list. Lookup, on the other hand, can be rather costly
because all the lists in a dlock-list will have to be iterated.

Currently dlock-list insertion is based on the cpu that the task is
running on. So a given object can be inserted into any one of the
lists depending on what the current cpu is.

This patch provides an alternative way of list selection. The caller
can provide a object context which will be hashed to one of the list
in a dlock-list. The object can then be added into that particular
list. Lookup can be done by iterating elements in the provided list
only instead of all the lists in a dlock-list.

The new APIs are:

struct dlock_list_head *dlock_list_hash(struct dlock_list_heads *, void *);
void dlock_list_add(struct dlock_list_node *, struct dlock_list_head *);
