+unsquashfs: fix open file limit
+
+Previously Unsquashfs relied on the to_writer queue being
+set to 1000 to limit the amount of open file read-ahead to a
+maximum of 500. For the default process limit of 1024 open files
+this was perhaps acceptable, but it obviously breaks if ulimit has
+been used to set the open file limit to below 504 (this includes
+stdin, stdout, stderr and the Squashfs filesystem being unsquashed).
+
+More importantly setting the to_writer queue to 1000 to limit
+the amount of files open has always been an inherent performance
+hit because the to_writer queue queues blocks. It limits the
+block readhead to 1000 blocks, irrespective of how many files
+that represents. A single file containing more than 1000 blocks
+will still be limited to a 1000 block readahead even though the
+data block cache typically can buffer more than this (at the
+default data cache size of 256 Mbytes and the default block size
+of 128 Kbytes, it can buffer 2048 blocks). Obviously the
+caches serve more than just a read-ahead role (they also
+cache decompressed blocks in case they're referenced later e.g.
+by duplicate files), but the artificial limit imposed on
+the read-ahead due to setting the to_writer queue to 1000 is
+unnecessary.
+
+This commit does away with the need to limit the to_writer queue,
+by introducing open_wait() and close_wake() calls which correctly
+track the amount of open files.

++ * The maximum file open limit, however, affects the read-ahead

++ * caches, where the incoming files have few data blocks or one fragment
++ * only, the file open limit is likely to be reached before the
++ * caches are full. This means the worst case sizing of the combined
++ * sizes of the caches is unlikely to ever be necessary. However, is is
++ * obvious read-ahead up to the data block cache size is always possible
++ * irrespective of the file open limit, because a single file could
++ * contain that number of blocks.
++ *
++ * Choosing the size as "file open limit + data block cache size" seems

++ * file entries, one per open file in the read-ahead.

++ * Choosing the size as "2 * (file open limit) +
++ * data block cache size" seems to be a reasonable estimate.
++ * We can reasonably assume the maximum likely read-ahead possible
