nfsd: add a new struct file caching facility to nfsd

Currently, NFSv2/3 reads and writes have to open a file, do the read or
write and then close it again for each RPC. This is highly inefficient,
especially when the underlying filesystem has a relatively slow open
routine.

This patch adds a new open file cache to knfsd. Rather than doing an
open for each RPC, the read/write handlers can call into this cache to
see if there is one already there for the correct filehandle and
NFS_MAY_READ/WRITE flags.

If there isn't an entry, then we create a new one and attempt to
perform the open. If there is, then we wait until the entry is fully
instantiated and return it if it is at the end of the wait. If it's
not, then we attempt to take over construction.

Since the main goal is to speed up NFSv2/3 I/O, we don't want to
close these files on last put of these objects. We need to keep them
around for a little while since we never know when the next READ/WRITE
will come in.

Cache entries have a hardcoded 1s timeout, and we have a recurring
workqueue job that walks the cache and purges any entries that have
expired.

+ * the inode, and for each nfsd_file to hold a reference to it.
+ *
+ * The fsnotify_mark is itself refcounted, but that's not sufficient to tell us
+ * how to put that reference. If there are still outstanding nfsd_files that
+ * reference the mark, then we would want to call fsnotify_put_mark on it.
+ * If there were not, then we'd need to call fsnotify_destroy_mark. Since we
+ * can't really tell the difference, we use the nfm_mark to keep track of how
+ * many nfsd_files hold references to the mark. When that counter goes to zero
+ * then we know to call fsnotify_destroy_mark on it.
