The flexfiles layout should never mark a device unavailable.
Move nfs4_mark_deviceid_unavailable out of nfs4_pnfs_ds_connect and call
directly from files layout where it's still needed.
The flexfiles driver still handles marked devices in error paths, but will
now print a rate limited warning.

The flexfiles client can piggyback both layout errors and layoutstats
as part of the layoutreturn. Both these payloads can get large, with
20 layout error entries taking up about 1.2K, and 4 layoutstats entries
taking up another 1K.
This patch allows a maximum payload of 4k by allocating a full page.

We encountered a deadlock where the SEQUENCE that accompanied the
LAYOUTGET triggered a session drain, while ff_layout_alloc_lseg
triggered a GETDEVICEINFO. The GETDEVICEINFO hung waiting for the
session drain, while the LAYOUTGET held the slot waiting for
alloc_lseg to finish.
Avoid this by moving the call to nfs4_find_get_deviceid out of
ff_layout_alloc_lseg and into nfs4_ff_layout_prepare_ds.

Add the layout error payload to the flexfiles layoutreturn private
data, and set up the encoding mechanisms. This is a refactoring in
preparation for adding the layout iostats payload.

Putting the periodicity timer in the mirror instances is causing
non-scalable reporting behaviour and missed reporting intervals.
When you recall layouts and/or implement client side mirroring, it
leads to consecutive reports with only a few ms between RPC calls.

The mds can inform the client not to use the IOMODE_RW layout
segment for doing READs. I.e., it is basically a
IOMODE_WRITE layout segment.
It would do this to not interfere with the WRITEs.

Whenever we check to see if we have the needed number of DSes for the
action, we may also have to check to see whether IO is allowed to go to
the MDS or not.

A mirror can be shared between multiple layouts, even with different
iomodes. That makes stats gathering simpler, but it causes a problem
when we get different creds in READ vs. RW layouts.
The current code drops the newer credentials onto the floor when this
occurs. That's problematic when you fetch a READ layout first, and then
a RW. If the READ layout doesn't have the correct creds to do a write,
then writes will fail.
We could just overwrite the READ credentials with the RW ones, but that
would break the ability for the server to fence the layout for reads if
things go awry. We need to be able to revert to the earlier READ creds
if the RW layout is returned afterward.
The simplest fix is to just keep two sets of creds per mirror. One for
READ layouts and one for RW, and then use the appropriate set depending
on the iomode of the layout segment.
Also fix up some RCU nits that sparse found.

We're just as likely to have allocation problems here as we would if we
delay looking up the credential like we currently do. Fix the code to
get a rpc_cred reference early, as soon as the mirror is set up.
This allows us to eliminate the mirror early if there is a problem
getting an rpc credential. This also allows us to drop the uid/gid
from the layout_mirror struct as well.
In the event that we find an existing mirror where this one would go, we
swap in the new creds unconditionally, and drop the reference to the old
one.
Note that the old ff_layout_update_mirror_cred function wouldn't set
this pointer unless the DS version was 3, but we don't know what the DS
version is at this point. I'm a little unclear on why it did that as you
still need creds to talk to v4 servers as well. I have the code set
it regardless of the DS version here.
Also note the change to using generic creds instead of calling
lookup_cred directly. With that change, we also need to populate the
group_info pointer in the acred as some functions expect that to never
be NULL. Instead of allocating one every time however, we can allocate
one when the module is loaded and share it since the group_info is
refcounted.

Some servers want to be able to control the frequency with which clients
report layoutstats, for instance, in order to monitor QoS for a particular
file or set of file. In order to support this, the flexfiles layout allows
the server to pass this info as a hint in the layout payload.

For loosely coupled pNFS/flexfiles systems, there is often no advantage
at all in going through the MDS for I/O, since the MDS is subject to
the same limitations as all other clients when talking to DSes. If a
DS is unresponsive, I/O through the MDS will fail.
For such systems, the only scalable solution is to have the pNFS clients
retry doing pNFS, and so the protocol now provides a flag that allows
the pNFS server to signal this.
If LAYOUTGET returns FF_FLAGS_NO_IO_THRU_MDS, then we should assume that
the MDS wants the client to retry using these devices, even if they were
previously marked as being unavailable. To do so, we add a helper,
ff_layout_mark_devices_valid() that will be called from layoutget.

Keep the full list of mirrors in the struct nfs4_ff_layout_mirror so that
they can be shared among the layout segments that use them.
Also ensure that we send out only one copy of the layoutstats per mirror.

This patch ensures that we record the value of 'ffl_flags' from
the layout, and then checks for the presence of the
FF_FLAGS_NO_LAYOUTCOMMIT flag before deciding whether or not to
call pnfs_set_layoutcommit().
The effect is that servers now can decide whether or not they want
the client to call layoutcommit before returning a writeable layout.
