Just a coupl eof minor formatting things first up - I'll have more
comments as I get deeper into the series.

The names of these are a bit clunky. You probably don't need the
"_rb_" in the function name. i.e. hot_inode_tree_init() is
sufficient, and if we every want to change in the tree type we don't
have to rename every single function...

The usual naming convention for slab initialiser functions is to use
a suffix of "_once" to indicate it is only ever called once per
slab object instantiation, not every time the object is allocated
fom the slab. See, for example, inode_init_once() and
inode_init_always().
so, that would make this function hot_inode_item_init_once().

No real need to have a hot_rb_item_cache_init() function here - just
open code it all in the hot_track_cache_init() function.

The comments are redundant - the name of the object documents it's
use sufficiently. ie.
/* values for hot_freq_data flags */
#define FREQ_DATA_TYPE_INODE (1 << 0)
#define FREQ_DATA_TYPE_RANGE (1 << 1)
is just fine by itself.

may as well make the flags a u32 - the compiler will ues that much
space anyway as it aligned the u32 last_temperature variable after
it.

It's hard to see the code in the commentsi, and some of comments are
redundant.. It's easier to read if you do this:
struct hot_inode_item {
struct rb_node node; /* hot_inode_tree index */
struct hot_range_tree hot_range_tree; /* tree of ranges */
struct hot_freq_data hot_freq_data; /* frequency data */
unsigned long i_ino; /* inode number from inode */
u8 in_tree; /* ref counting check */
spinlock_t lock; /* protects object data */
struct kref refs; /* prevents kfree */
}
Also:
- i_ino really needs to be a 64 bit quantity as some
filesystems can use 64 bit inode numbers even on 32
bit systems (e.g. XFS).
- in_tree can be u32 or a flags field if it is boolean. if
it is just debug, then maybe it can be removed whenteh
code is ready for commit.

What units?
u64 start; /* start offset in bytes */
u64 len /* length in bytes */

The comment is redundant...
