Only one hot_inode_item per inode, while maybe multiple
hot_range_items per inode.

I haven't do so large scale test. If we want to find that issue, we
need to do large scale performance test, before that, i want to make
sure the code change is correct at first.
To be honest, for that issue you pointed to, i also have such
concern.But list_sort() performance looks good from the test result of
the following URL:

Beside list_sort(), do you have any other way to share? For this
concern, how does GFS2 resolve it?
