ext4: Convert pa->pa_inode_list and pa->pa_obj_lock into a union
** Splitting pa->pa_inode_list ** Currently, we use the same pa->pa_inode_list to add a pa to either the inode preallocation list or the locality group preallocation list. For better clarity, split this list into a union of 2 list_heads and use either of the them based on the type of pa. ** Splitting pa->pa_obj_lock ** Currently, pa->pa_obj_lock is either assigned &ei->i_prealloc_lock for inode PAs or lg_prealloc_lock for lg PAs, and is then used to lock the lists containing these PAs. Make the distinction between the 2 PA types clear by changing this lock to a union of 2 locks. Explicitly use the pa_lock_node.inode_lock for inode PAs and pa_lock_node.lg_lock for lg PAs. This patch is required so that the locality group preallocation code remains the same as in upcoming patches we are going to make changes to inode preallocation code to move from list to rbtree based implementation. This patch also makes it easier to review the upcoming patches. There are no functional changes in this patch.
