fasync: re-organize fasync entry insertion to allow it under a spinlock
You currently cannot use "fasync_helper()" in an atomic environment to insert a new fasync entry, because it will need to allocate the new "struct fasync_struct". Yet fcntl_setlease() wants to call this under lock_flocks(), which is in the process of being converted from the BKL to a spinlock. In order to fix this, this abstracts out the actual fasync list insertion and the fasync allocations into functions of their own, and teaches fs/locks.c to pre-allocate the fasync_struct entry. That way the actual list insertion can happen while holding the required spinlock.
