kernfs: implement i_generation
Set i_generation for kernfs inode. This is required to implement exportfs operations. The generation is 32-bit, so it's possible the generation wraps up and we find stale files. To reduce the posssibility, we don't reuse inode numer immediately. When the inode number allocation wraps, we increase generation number. In this way generation/inode number consist of a 64-bit number which is unlikely duplicated. This does make the idr tree more sparse and waste some memory. Since idr manages 32-bit keys, idr uses a 6-level radix tree, each level covers 6 bits of the key. In a 100k inode kernfs, the worst case will have around 300k radix tree node. Each node is 576bytes, so the tree will use about ~150M memory. Sounds not too bad, if this really is a problem, we should find better data structure.
