exportfs: make ->encode_fh() a mandatory method for NFS export
Rename the default helper for encoding FILEID_INO32_GEN* file handles to generic_encode_ino32_fh() and convert the filesystems that used the default implementation to use the generic helper explicitly. After this change, exportfs_encode_inode_fh() no longer has a default implementation to encode FILEID_INO32_GEN* file handles. This is a step towards allowing filesystems to encode non-decodeable file handles for fanotify without having to implement any export_operations.
