ext4: optimize orphan_list handling for ext4_setattr
Surprisingly chown() on ext4 is not SMP scalable operation.
Due to unconditional orphan_del(NULL, inode) in ext4_setattr()
result in significant performance overhead because of global orphan
mutex, especially in no-journal mode (where orphan_add() is noop).
It is possible to skip explicit orphan_del if possible.
Results of fchown() micro-benchmark in no-journal mode
while (1) {
iteration++;
fchown(fd, uid, gid);
fchown(fd, uid + 1, gid + 1)
}
measured: iterations per millisecond
