    lglocks and brlocks are currently generated with some complicated macros
    in lglock.h.  But there's no reason to not just use common utility
    functions and put all the data into a common data structure.
    
    In preparation, this patch changes the API to look more like normal
    function calls with pointers, not magic macros.
    
    The patch is rather large because I move over all users in one go to keep
    it bisectable.  This impacts the VFS somewhat in terms of lines changed.
    But no actual behaviour change.
