ceph: kill addr_str_lock spinlock; use atomic instead

A spinlock is used to protect a value used for selecting an array
index for a string used for formatting a socket address for human
consumption.  The index is reset to 0 if it ever reaches the maximum
index value.

Instead, use an ever-increasing atomic variable as a sequence
number, and compute the array index by masking off all but the
sequence number's lowest bits.  Make the number of entries in the
array a power of two to allow the use of such a mask (to avoid jumps
in the index value when the sequence number wraps).

The length of these strings is somewhat arbitrarily set at 60 bytes.
The worst-case length of a string produced is 54 bytes, for an IPv6
address that can't be shortened, e.g.:
    [1234:5678:9abc:def0:1111:2222:123.234.210.100]:32767
Change it so we arbitrarily use 64 bytes instead; if nothing else
it will make the array of these line up better in hex dumps.

Rename a few things to reinforce the distinction between the number
of strings in the array and the length of individual strings.
