[PATCH v2 04/25] netfs: Record contention stats for writeback lock

[David Howells]

Record statistics for contention upon the writeback serialisation lock that
prevents racing writeback calls from causing each other to interleave their
writebacks.  These can be viewed in /proc/fs/netfs/stats on the WbLock line,
with skip=N indicating the number of non-SYNC writebacks skipped and wait=N
indicating the number of SYNC writebacks that waited.
