NFS: introduce mechanism for tracking NFS client metrics
Add a per-superblock performance counter facility to the NFS client. This facility mimics the counters available for block devices and for networking. Expose these new counters via the new /proc/self/mountstats interface. Thanks to Andrew Morton and Trond Myklebust for their review and comments. Test plan: fsx and iozone on UP and SMP systems, with and without pre-emption. Watch for memory overwrite bugs, and performance loss (significantly more CPU required per op).

+ * Declarations for NFS client per-mount statistics
+ *
+ * Copyright (C) 2005, 2006 Chuck Lever <cel@netapp.com>
+ *
+ * NFS client per-mount statistics provide information about the health of
+ * the NFS client and the health of each NFS mount point. Generally these
+ * are not for detailed problem diagnosis, but simply to indicate that there
+ * is a problem.
+ *
+ * These counters are not meant to be human-readable, but are meant to be
+ * integrated into system monitoring tools such as "sar" and "iostat". As
+ * such, the counters are sampled by the tools over time, and are never
+ * zeroed after a file system is mounted. Moving averages can be computed
+ * by the tools by taking the difference between two instantaneous samples
+ * and dividing that by the time between the samples.

+ * NFS byte counters
+ *
+ * 1. SERVER - the number of payload bytes read from or written to the
+ * server by the NFS client via an NFS READ or WRITE request.
+ *
+ * 2. NORMAL - the number of bytes read or written by applications via
+ * the read(2) and write(2) system call interfaces.
+ *
+ * 3. DIRECT - the number of bytes read or written from files opened
+ * with the O_DIRECT flag.
+ *
+ * These counters give a view of the data throughput into and out of the NFS
+ * client. Comparing the number of bytes requested by an application with the
+ * number of bytes the client requests from the server can provide an
+ * indication of client efficiency (per-op, cache hits, etc).
+ *
+ * These counters can also help characterize which access methods are in
+ * use. DIRECT by itself shows whether there is any O_DIRECT traffic.
+ * NORMAL + DIRECT shows how much data is going through the system call
+ * interface. A large amount of SERVER traffic without much NORMAL or
+ * DIRECT traffic shows that applications are using mapped files.
+ *
+ * NFS page counters
+ *
+ * These count the number of pages read or written via nfs_readpage(),
+ * nfs_readpages(), or their write equivalents.
