fs.h: Optimize file struct to prevent false sharing
In the syscall test of UnixBench, performance regression occurred due to false sharing. The lock and atomic members, including file::f_lock, file::f_count and file::f_pos_lock are highly contended and frequently updated in the high-concurrency test scenarios. perf c2c indentified one affected read access, file::f_op. To prevent false sharing, the layout of file struct is changed as following (A) f_lock, f_count and f_pos_lock are put together to share the same cache line. (B) The read mostly members, including f_path, f_inode, f_op are put into a separate cache line. (C) f_mode is put together with f_count, since they are used frequently at the same time. Due to '__randomize_layout' attribute of file struct, the updated layout only can be effective when CONFIG_RANDSTRUCT_NONE is 'y'. The optimization has been validated in the syscall test of UnixBench. performance gain is 30~50%. Furthermore, to confirm the optimization effectiveness on the other codes path, the results of fsdisk, fsbuffer and fstime are also shown. Here are the detailed test results of unixbench.
