Eliminate nfs_server::client_sys in favour of nfs_client::cl_rpcclient as we
only really need one per server that we're talking to since it doesn't have any
security on it.

The retransmission management variables are also moved to the common struct as
they're required to set up the cl_rpcclient connection.

The NFS2/3 client and client_acl connections are thenceforth derived by cloning
the cl_rpcclient connection and post-applying the authorisation flavour.

The code for setting up the initial common connection has been moved to
client.c as nfs_create_rpc_client().  All the NFS program definition tables are
also moved there as that's where they're now required rather than super.c.

As fs/nfs/inode.c is rather large, heterogenous and unwieldy, the attached
patch splits it up into a number of files:

 (*) fs/nfs/inode.c

     Strictly inode specific functions.

 (*) fs/nfs/super.c

     Superblock management functions for NFS and NFS4, normal access, clones
     and referrals.  The NFS4 superblock functions _could_ move out into a
     separate conditionally compiled file, but it's probably not worth it as
     there're so many common bits.

 (*) fs/nfs/namespace.c

     Some namespace-specific functions have been moved here.

 (*) fs/nfs/nfs4namespace.c

     NFS4-specific namespace functions (this could be merged into the previous
     file).  This file is conditionally compiled.

 (*) fs/nfs/internal.h

     Inter-file declarations, plus a few simple utility functions moved from
     fs/nfs/inode.c.

     Additionally, all the in-.c-file externs have been moved here, and those
     files they were moved from now includes this file.

Same callback hierarchy inversion as for the NFS write calls. This patch is
not strictly speaking needed by the O_DIRECT code, but avoids confusing
differences between the asynchronous read and write code.

This patch inverts the callback hierarchy for NFS write calls.

Instead of having the NFSv2/v3/v4-specific code set up the RPC callback
ops, we allow the original caller to do so. This allows for more
flexibility w.r.t. how to set up and tear down the nfs_write_data
structure while still allowing the NFSv3/v4 code to perform error
handling.

The greater flexibility is needed by the asynchronous O_DIRECT code, which
wants to be able to hold on to the original nfs_write_data structures after
the WRITE RPC call has completed in order to be able to replay them if the
COMMIT call determines that the server has rebooted.

Clean-up: replace rpc_call() helper with direct call to rpc_call_sync.

This makes NFSv2 and NFSv3 synchronous calls more computationally
efficient, and reduces stack consumption in functions that used to
invoke rpc_call more than once.

 Thanks to Ed Keizer for bug and root cause.  He says: "... we could only mount
 the top-level Solaris share. We could not mount deeper into the tree.
 Investigation showed that Solaris allows UNIX authenticated FSINFO only on the
 top level of the share. This is a problem because we share/export our home
 directories one level higher than we mount them. I.e. we share the partition
 and not the individual home directories. This prevented access to home
 directories."

 We still may need to try auth_sys for the case where the client doesn't have
 appropriate credentials.

 Shrink the RPC task structure. Instead of storing separate pointers
 for task->tk_exit and task->tk_release, put them in a structure.

 Also pass the user data pointer as a parameter instead of passing it via
 task->tk_calldata. This enables us to nest callbacks.

 Since we almost always call nfs_end_data_update() after we called
 nfs_refresh_inode(), we now end up marking the inode metadata
 as needing revalidation immediately after having updated it.

 This patch rearranges things so that we mark the inode as needing
 revalidation _before_ we call nfs_refresh_inode() on those operations
 that need it.

When the client performs an exclusive create and opens the file for writing,
a Netapp filer will first create the file using the mode 01777. It does this
since an NFSv3/v4 exclusive create cannot immediately set the mode bits.
The 01777 mode then gets put into the inode->i_mode. After the file creation
is successful, we then do a setattr to change the mode to the correct value
(as per the NFS spec).

The problem is that nfs_refresh_inode() no longer updates inode->i_mode, so
the latter retains the 01777 mode. A bit later, the VFS notices this, and calls
remove_suid(). This of course now resets the file mode to inode->i_mode & 0777.
Hey presto, the file mode on the server is now magically changed to 0777. Duh...

 Attach acls to inodes in the icache to avoid unnecessary GETACL RPC
 round-trips.  As long as the client doesn't retrieve any acls itself, only the
 default acls of exiting directories and the default and access acls of new
 directories will end up in the cache, which preserves some memory compared to
 always caching the access and default acl of all files.

 NFSv3 has no concept of a umask on the server side: The client applies
 the umask locally, and sends the effective permissions to the server.
 This behavior is wrong when files are created in a directory that has a
 default ACL.  In this case, the umask is supposed to be ignored, and
 only the default ACL determines the file's effective permissions.

 Usually its the server's task to conditionally apply the umask.  But
 since the server knows nothing about the umask, we have to do it on the
 client side.  This patch tries to fetch the parent directory's default
 ACL before creating a new file, computes the appropriate create mode to
 send to the server, and finally sets the new file's access and default
 acl appropriately.

 Many thanks to Buck Huppmann <buchk@pobox.com> for sending the initial
 version of this patch, as well as for arguing why we need this change.

 This adds acl support fo nfs clients via the NFSACL protocol extension, by
 implementing the getxattr, listxattr, setxattr, and removexattr iops for the
 system.posix_acl_access and system.posix_acl_default attributes.  This patch
 implements a dumb version that uses no caching (and thus adds some overhead).
 (Another patch in this patchset adds caching as well.)

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
