Currently, there is no serialisation between NFS asynchronous writebacks
and truncation at the page level due to the fact that nfs_sync_inode()
cannot lock the pages that it is about to write out.

This means that it is possible to be flushing out data (and calling something
like set_page_writeback()) while the page cache is busy evicting the page.
Oops...

Use the hooks provided in try_to_release_page() to ensure that dirty pages
are always written back to storage before we evict them.

NFS client prevents mandatory lock, but there is a flaw on it; Locks are
possibly left if the mode is changed while locking.

This permits unlocking even if the mandatory lock bits are set.

 Ensure we call unmap_mapping_range() and sync dirty pages to disk before
 doing an NFS direct write.

If the data cache has been marked as potentially invalid by nfs_refresh_inode,
we should invalidate it rather than assume that changes are due to our own
activity.

Also ensure that we always start with a valid cache before declaring it
to be protected by a delegation.

Certain bits in nfsi->flags can be manipulated with atomic bitops, and some
are better manipulated via logical bitmask operations.

This patch splits the flags field into two.  The next patch introduces atomic
bitops for one of the fields.

Test plan:
 Millions of fsx ops on SMP clients.

 Unless we're doing O_APPEND writes, we really don't care about revalidating
 the file length. Just make sure that we catch any page cache invalidations.

 This adds acl support fo nfs clients via the NFSACL protocol extension, by
 implementing the getxattr, listxattr, setxattr, and removexattr iops for the
 system.posix_acl_access and system.posix_acl_default attributes.  This patch
 implements a dumb version that uses no caching (and thus adds some overhead).
 (Another patch in this patchset adds caching as well.)

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
