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.

When we start sharing mirrors between several lsegs, we won't be able to
keep it.

We do want to share mirrors between layout segments, so add a refcount
to enable that.

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.

As a simple scheme, report every minute if IO is still going on.
