Fix up conflicts in fs/nfsd/vfs.c with the vfs-scale work. The
vfs-scale work touched some msnfs cases, and this merge removes support
for that entirely, so the conflict was trivial to resolve.

Make d_count non-atomic and protect it with d_lock. This allows us to ensure a
0 refcount dentry remains 0 without dcache_lock. It is also fairly natural when
we start protecting many other dentry members with d_lock.

The nfs server only supports read delegations for now, so we don't care
how conflicts are determined. All we care is that unlocks are
recognized as matching the leases they are meant to remove. After the
last patch, a comparison of struct files will work for that purpose. So
we no longer need this callback.

The caller allocated it, the caller should free it.
The only issue so far is that we could change the flp pointer even on an
error return if the fl_change callback failed. But we can simply move
the flp assignment after the fl_change invocation, as the callers don't
care about the flp return value if the setlease call failed.

Removing a lock shouldn't require any allocations; a failure due to
ENOMEM leaves the caller with a choice between retrying or giving up and
leaking an unused lease.
Next we should split the other lease calls into add and delete cases.

You currently cannot use "fasync_helper()" in an atomic environment to
insert a new fasync entry, because it will need to allocate the new
"struct fasync_struct".
Yet fcntl_setlease() wants to call this under lock_flocks(), which is in
the process of being converted from the BKL to a spinlock.
In order to fix this, this abstracts out the actual fasync list
insertion and the fasync allocations into functions of their own, and
teaches fs/locks.c to pre-allocate the fasync_struct entry. That way
the actual list insertion can happen while holding the required
spinlock.

The lock number in /proc/locks (first field) is implemented by a counter
(private field of struct seq_file) which is incremented at each call of
locks_show() and reset to 1 in locks_start() whatever the offset is. It
should be reset according to the actual position in the list. Because of
this, the numbering erratically restarts at 1 several times when reading a
long /proc/locks file.
Moreover, locks_show() can be called twice to print a single line thus
skipping a number. The counter should be incremented in locks_next().
And last, pos is a loff_t, which can be bigger than a pointer, so we don't
use the pointer as an integer anymore, and allocate a loff_t instead.

This prepares the removal of the big kernel lock from the
file locking code. We still use the BKL as long as fs/lockd
uses it and ceph might sleep, but we can flip the definition
to a private spinlock as soon as that's done.
All users outside of fs/lockd get converted to use
lock_flocks() instead of lock_kernel() where appropriate.
Based on an earlier patch to use a spinlock from Matthew
Wilcox, who has attempted this a few times before, the
earliest patch from over 10 years ago turned it into
a semaphore, which ended up being slower than the BKL
and was subsequently reverted.
Someone should do some serious performance testing when
this becomes a spinlock, since this has caused problems
before. Using a spinlock should be at least as good
as the BKL in theory, but who knows...

fs/locks.c:flock_lock_file() is the only user of
cond_resched_bkl()
This helper doesn't do anything more than cond_resched(). The
latter naming is enough to explain that we are rescheduling if
needed.
The bkl suffix suggests another semantics but it's actually a
synonym of cond_resched().

For every lock request lockd creates a new file_lock object
in nlmsvc_setgrantargs() by copying the passed in file_lock with
locks_copy_lock(). A filesystem can attach it's own lock_operations
vector to the file_lock. It has to be cleaned up at the end of the
file_lock's life. However, lockd doesn't do it today, yet it
asserts in nlmclnt_release_lockargs() that the per-filesystem
state is clean.
This patch fixes it by exporting locks_release_private() and adding
it to nlmsvc_freegrantargs(), to be symmetrical to creating a
file_lock in nlmsvc_setgrantargs().

Allow filesystem's ->lock() method to call posix_lock_file() instead of
posix_lock_file_wait(), and return FILE_LOCK_DEFERRED. This makes it
possible to implement a such a ->lock() function, that works with the lock
manager, which needs the call to be asynchronous.
Now the vfs_lock_file() helper can be used, so this is a cleanup as well.

Use a special error value FILE_LOCK_DEFERRED to mean that a locking
operation returned asynchronously. This is returned by
posix_lock_file() for sleeping locks to mean that the lock has been
queued on the block list, and will be woken up when it might become
available and needs to be retried (either fl_lmops->fl_notify() is
called or fl_wait is woken up).
f_op->lock() to mean either the above, or that the filesystem will
call back with fl_lmops->fl_grant() when the result of the locking
operation is known. The filesystem can do this for sleeping as well
as non-sleeping locks.
This is to make sure, that return values of -EAGAIN and -EINPROGRESS by
filesystems are not mistaken to mean an asynchronous locking.
This also makes error handling in fs/locks.c and lockd/svclock.c slightly
cleaner.

It acts exactly like a regular 'cond_resched()', but will not get
optimized away when CONFIG_PREEMPT is set.
Normal kernel code is already preemptable in the presense of
CONFIG_PREEMPT, so cond_resched() is optimized away (see commit
02b67cc3ba36bdba351d6c3a00593f4ec550d9d3 "sched: do not do
cond_resched() when CONFIG_PREEMPT").
But when wanting to conditionally reschedule while holding a lock, you
need to use "cond_sched_lock(lock)", and the new function is the BKL
equivalent of that.
Also make fs/locks.c use it.

fcntl_setlk()/close() race prevention has a subtle hole - we need to
make sure that if we *do* have an fcntl/close race on SMP box, the
access to descriptor table and inode->i_flock won't get reordered.
As it is, we get STORE inode->i_flock, LOAD descriptor table entry vs.
STORE descriptor table entry, LOAD inode->i_flock with not a single
lock in common on both sides. We do have BKL around the first STORE,
but check in locks_remove_posix() is outside of BKL and for a good
reason - we don't want BKL on common path of close(2).
Solution is to hold ->file_lock around fcheck() in there; that orders
us wrt removal from descriptor table that preceded locks_remove_posix()
on close path and we either come first (in which case eviction will be
handled by the close side) or we'll see the effect of close and do
eviction ourselves. Note that even though it's read-only access,
we do need ->file_lock here - rcu_read_lock() won't be enough to
order the things.

The file_lock structure is used both as a heavy-weight representation of
an active lock, with pointers to reference-counted structures, etc., and
as a simple container for parameters that describe a file lock.
The conflicting lock returned from __posix_lock_file is an example of
the latter; so don't call the filesystem or lock manager callbacks when
copying to it. This also saves the need for an unnecessary
locks_init_lock in the nfsv4 server.
Thanks to Trond for pointing out the error.

Miklos Szeredi found the bug:
"Basically what happens is that on the server nlm_fopen() calls
nfsd_open() which returns -EACCES, to which nlm_fopen() returns
NLM_LCK_DENIED.
"On the client this will turn into a -EAGAIN (nlm_stat_to_errno()),
which in will cause fcntl_setlk() to retry forever."
So, for example, opening a file on an nfs filesystem, changing
permissions to forbid further access, then trying to lock the file,
could result in an infinite loop.
And Trond Myklebust identified the culprit, from Marc Eshel and I:
7723ec9777d9832849b76475b1a21a2872a40d20 "locks: factor out
generic/filesystem switch from setlock code"
That commit claimed to just be reshuffling code, but actually introduced
a behavioral change by calling the lock method repeatedly as long as it
returned -EAGAIN.
We assumed this would be safe, since we assumed a lock of type SETLKW
would only return with either success or an error other than -EAGAIN.
However, nfs does can in fact return -EAGAIN in this situation, and
independently of whether that behavior is correct or not, we don't
actually need this change, and it seems far safer not to depend on such
assumptions about the filesystem's ->lock method.
Therefore, revert the problematic part of the original commit. This
leaves vfs_lock_file() and its other callers unchanged, while returning
fcntl_setlk and fcntl_setlk64 to their former behavior.
