Subject: [PATCH] [Kernel] Memoize guest path resolution against the mount
 configuration

Resolving a guest path to a host path is pure text work plus a reparse-point
check per path component, but a resource streamer calls
sceKernelAprResolveFilepathsToIdsAndFileSizes with the same paths hundreds of
thousands of times over a load, so the work dominates.

Successful resolutions are now memoized. The only inputs that can change an
already-computed answer are the mount table and the host mount roots, so each
entry records the root configuration it was computed under and is ignored if
that has changed, and registering or removing a guest mount clears the cache
outright. A denial is not memoized: it is a containment decision about the
host filesystem's current shape, so it stays live. The cache is bounded, and
its size is tracked in a plain counter because ConcurrentDictionary.Count
takes every bucket lock, which on a path a dozen guest threads resolve at
once costs more than the resolution it guards.
