The current RPCAUTH_LOOKUP_ROOTCREDS flag only works for AUTH_SYS
authentication, and then only as a special case in the code. This patch
removes the auth_sys special casing, and replaces it with generic code.

This is designed to replace the timeout timer in the individual rpc_tasks.
By putting the timer function in the wait queue, we will eventually be able
to reduce the total number of timers in use by the RPC subsystem.

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.

In all cases where we currently use rpc_wake_up_task(), we almost always
know on which waitqueue the rpc_task is actually sleeping. This will allows
us to simplify the queue locking in a future patch.

All RPC timeout callback functions are expected to wake the task up. We can
enforce this by moving the wakeup back into rpc_run_timer.

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.

We want the default scheduling priority (priority == 0) to remain
RPC_PRIORITY_NORMAL.

Also ensure that the priority wait queue scheduling is per process id
instead of sometimes being per thread, and sometimes being per inode.

The task_struct->pid member is going to be deprecated, so start
using the helpers (task_pid_nr/task_pid_vnr/task_pid_nr_ns) in
the kernel.

The first thing to start with is the pid, printed to dmesg - in
this case we may safely use task_pid_nr(). Besides, printks produce
more (much more) than a half of all the explicit pid usage.

The commit 4ada539e lead to the unpleasant
possibility of an asynchronous rpc_task being required to call
rpciod_down() when it is complete. This again means that the rpciod
workqueue may get to call destroy_workqueue on itself -> hang...

Change rpciod_up/rpciod_down to just get/put the module, and then
create/destroy the workqueues on module load/unload.

Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's
c59def9f change. They've been
BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them
either.

This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create()
completely and fixes up every single callsite in the kernel (there were
about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves,
or the documentation references).
