nfs: add LOCALIO support
Add client support for bypassing NFS for localhost reads, writes, and commits. This is only useful when the client and the server are running on the same host. nfs_local_probe() is stubbed out, later commits will enable client and server handshake via a Linux-only LOCALIO auxiliary RPC protocol. This has dynamic binding with the nfsd module (via nfs_localio module which is part of nfs_common). LOCALIO will only work if nfsd is already loaded. The "localio_enabled" nfs kernel module parameter can be used to disable and enable the ability to use LOCALIO support. CONFIG_NFS_LOCALIO enables NFS client support for LOCALIO. Lastly, LOCALIO uses an nfsd_file to initiate all IO. To make proper use of nfsd_file (and nfsd's filecache) its lifetime (duration before nfsd_file_put is called) must extend until after commit, read and write operations. So rather than immediately drop the nfsd_file reference in nfs_local_open_fh(), that doesn't happen until nfs_local_pgio_release() for read/write and not until nfs_local_release_commit_data() for commit. The same applies to the reference held on nfsd's nn->nfsd_serv. Both objects' lifetimes and associated references are managed through calls to nfs_to->nfsd_file_put_local().
