Implemented by changing write_map to accept a WMAP_FREE flag. In that
case, it doesn't update the datablock (creating indirect zones as
necessary) pointer, but it frees the datablock if present. Also it
frees the single and double indirect blocks if unused.
This makes the implementation of truncate_inode() simpler.
truncate_inode() now accepts a truncation length which makes
implementing truncate() and ftruncate() simple.
This also allowed implementing the F_FREESP fcntl().
. new_node() now returns inode of parent dir as argument that
has to be put_node()d again by the caller of new_node().
it can also return the name of the last component as last_dir()
did.
. advance() takes a pointer to a pointer of an inode as the
parent now. This parent can change, in which case the old
one is put_node()d and a new one is put there.
. eat_path() replaced by more flexible parse_path()
. last_dir() replaced by call to parse_path().
. do_slink(), do_readlink(), do_lstat() and slink_traverse() added.
Also added some truncate()/ftruncate()-introduction related changes.
(e.g. renamed truncate() to truncate_inode().)
Added interface to select() for pipes (also named pipes), and select()
stubs for regular files.
Added timer library in FS that select() is the first customer of.
This is unfinished, but committed anyway to get a new release out to
Al and testers.
