rpc_run_task can only fail if it is not passed in a preallocated task.
However, that is not at all clear with the current code.  So
remove several impossible to occur failure checks.

Although they run as rpciod background tasks, under normal operation
(i.e. no SIGKILL), functions like nfs_sillyrename(), nfs4_proc_unlck()
and nfs4_do_close() want to be fully synchronous. This means that when we
exit, we want all references to the rpc_task to be gone, and we want
any dentry references etc. held by that task to be released.

For this reason these functions call __rpc_wait_for_completion_task(),
followed by rpc_put_task() in the expectation that the latter will be
releasing the last reference to the rpc_task, and thus ensuring that the
callback_ops->rpc_release() has been called synchronously.

This patch fixes a race which exists due to the fact that
rpciod calls rpc_complete_task() (in order to wake up the callers of
__rpc_wait_for_completion_task()) and then subsequently calls
rpc_put_task() without ensuring that these two steps are done atomically.

In order to avoid adding new spin locks, the patch uses the existing
waitqueue spin lock to order the rpc_task reference count releases between
the waiting process and rpciod.
The common case where nobody is waiting for completion is optimised for by
checking if the RPC_TASK_ASYNC flag is cleared and/or if the rpc_task
reference count is 1: in those cases we drop trying to grab the spin lock,
and immediately free up the rpc_task.

Those few processes that need to put the rpc_task from inside an
asynchronous context and that do not care about ordering are given a new
helper: rpc_put_task_async().

Currently RPC performance metrics that tabulate elapsed time use
jiffies time values.  This is problematic on systems that use slow
jiffies (for instance 100HZ systems built for paravirtualized
environments).  It is also a problem for computing precise latency
statistics for advanced network transports, such as InfiniBand,
that can have round-trip latencies significanly faster than a single
clock tick.

For the RPC client, adopt the high resolution time stamp mechanism
already used by the network layer and blktrace: ktime.

We use ktime format time stamps for all internal computations, and
convert to milliseconds for presentation.  As a result, we need only
addition operations in the performance critical paths; multiply/divide
is required only for presentation.

We could report RTT metrics in microseconds.  In fact the mountstats
format is versioned to accomodate exactly this kind of interface
improvement.

For now, however, we'll stay with millisecond precision for
presentation to maintain backwards compatibility with the handful of
currently deployed user space tools.  At a later point, we'll move to
an API such as BDI_STATS where a finer timestamp precision can be
reported.

We should probably not be testing any flags after we've cleared the
RPC_TASK_RUNNING flag, since rpc_make_runnable() is then free to assign the
rpc_task to another workqueue, which may then destroy it.

We can fix any races with rpc_make_runnable() by ensuring that we only
clear the RPC_TASK_RUNNING flag while holding the rpc_wait_queue->lock that
the task is supposed to be sleeping on (and then checking whether or not
the task really is sleeping).

An audit of the current RPC timeout functions shows that they don't really
ever need to run in the softirq context. As long as the softirq is
able to signal that the wakeup is due to a timeout (which it can do by
setting task->tk_status to -ETIMEDOUT) then the callback functions can just
run as standard task->tk_callback functions (in the rpciod/process
context).

The only possible border-line case would be xprt_timer() for the case of
UDP, when the callback is used to reduce the size of the transport
congestion window. In testing, however, the effect of moving that update
to a callback would appear to be minor.

A lot of the work done by the rpc_release() callback is inappropriate for
rpciod as it will often involve things like starting a new rpc call in
order to clean up state after an interrupted NFSv4 open() call, or
calls to mntput(), etc.

This patch allows the caller of rpc_run_task() to specify that the
rpc_release callback should run on a different workqueue than the default
rpciod_workqueue.
