LU-17441 mdc: use MDS_IO_PORTAL for rename
Some workloads like Apache Spark are very rename intensive, and there
here may be many concurrent renames that need the BFL lock (more than
the number of MDS_REQUEST_PORTAL service threads), they will block
these threads until each is able to get the rename lock, and prevent
other MDS_REINT RPCs from being processed.
Since the MDS_IO_PORTAL is often unused (only needed for DoM files),
and has existed since 2.11.0, it seems possible to move the rename
RPCs to be serviced by the MDS_IO_PORTAL threads to avoid contention
on the primary MDS service threads. Also, it will avoid blocking
normal file open, setattr, statfs, and other common operations if the
BFL lock is contended. Even with DoM files they may have read-on-open
handling and only DoM writes would be blocked by the uncommon rename.
