Aufs uses the workqueue both synchronously and asynchronously.
For sync-use-case, aufs uses its own specific wkq since doesn't want to
be disturbed by other tasks on the system. For async-use-case, aufs uses
the system global workqueue.
Aufs has to prevent itself to being unmounted during the async-task is
queued.

Print various info about aufs branch and superblock. This feature is
enabled when CONFIG_AUFS_DEBUG and the module parameter 'debug' are set.

The branch object is managed by the sbinfo object as an element of its
internal array. The iinfo and dinfo objects contain the branch id, and
it will be used to implement the correct order in branch management
(add/del).

The generation of iinfo and dinfo inherit sbinfo's.
Also iinfo generation tracks the branch inode's generation to test the
matching after the branch management.

The structure is very similar to inode and dentry infos (in previous
commits), but the internal array is for 'struct au_branch' instead of
'superblock.' Additionally the lifetime of 'struct au_sbinfo' is managed
by kobject since it will be connected to sysfs by later commit.

Print various info about aufs inode. This feature is enabled when
CONFIG_AUFS_DEBUG and the module parameter 'debug' are set.

This parameter is available only when CONFIG_AUFS_DEBUG is enabled, and
its default value is 0. Setting 1 will enable the various verifications
and debug outputs.

Very basic, simple and stupid wrappers for kmalloc family.
It tries kfree_ruc() as possible, with hoping a better performance.
