[RFC v2 5/6] fs: add iterate_supers_excl() and iterate_supers_reverse_excl()

[Luis Chamberlain]

There are use cases where we wish to traverse the superblock list
but also capture errors, and in which case we want to avoid having
our callers issue a lock themselves since we can do the locking for
the callers. Provide a iterate_supers_excl() which calls a function
with the write lock held. If an error occurs we capture it and
propagate it.

Likewise there are use cases where we wish to traverse the superblock
list but in reverse order. The new iterate_supers_reverse_excl() helpers
does this but also also captures any errors encountered.
