This patch stop rpc_mkpipe from create S_IFSOCK nodes what don't
have associated sk buffers attached (which causes SELinux to oops
during NFSv4 mounts). Instead the S_IFIFO mode bit is set which
probably make more sense and seems to work just fine during
my connectathon and fsx testing...

RFC3530 states that the registered port 2049 for the NFS protocol should be
the default configuration in order to allow clients not to use the RPC
binding protocols.
If the mount program sends us a port=0, we therefore substitute port=2049.

Currently, a read() request will return EIO even if the file has been
deleted on the server, simply because that is what the VM will return
if the call to readpage() fails to update the page.
Ensure that readpage() marks the inode as stale if it receives an ESTALE.
Then return that error to userland.

If the open intents tell us that a given lookup is going to result in a,
exclusive create, we currently optimize away the lookup call itself. The
reason is that the lookup would not be atomic with the create RPC call, so
why do it in the first place?
A problem occurs, however, if the VFS aborts the exclusive create operation
after the lookup, but before the call to create the file/directory: in this
case we will end up with a hashed negative dentry in the dcache that has
never been looked up.
Fix this by only actually hashing the dentry once the create operation has
been successfully completed.

If the LOOKUP or GETATTR in nfs_instantiate fail, nfs_instantiate will do a
d_drop before returning. But some callers already do a d_drop in the case
of an error return. Make certain we do only one d_drop in all error paths.
This issue was introduced because over time, the symlink proc API diverged
slightly from the create/mkdir/mknod proc API. To prevent other coding
mistakes of this type, change the symlink proc API to be more like
create/mkdir/mknod and move the nfs_instantiate call into the symlink proc
routines so it is used in exactly the same way for create, mkdir, mknod,
and symlink.

In the early days of NFS, there was no duplicate reply cache on the server.
Thus retransmitted non-idempotent requests often found that the request had
already completed on the server. To avoid passing an unanticipated return
code to unsuspecting applications, NFS clients would often shunt error
codes that implied the request had been retried but already completed.
Thanks to NFS over TCP, duplicate reply caches on the server, and network
performance and reliability improvements, it is safe to remove such checks.
Test plan:
None.

The two function call API for creating a new RPC client is now obsolete.
Remove it.
Also, remove an unnecessary check to see whether the caller is capable of
using privileged network services. The kernel RPC client always uses a
privileged ephemeral port by default; callers are responsible for checking
the authority of users to make use of any RPC service, or for specifying
that a nonprivileged port is acceptable.

Move connection and bind state that was maintained in the rpc_clnt
structure to the rpc_xprt structure. This will allow the creation of
a clean API for plugging in different types of bind mechanisms.
This brings improvements such as the elimination of a single spin lock to
control serialization for all in-kernel RPC binding. A set of per-xprt
bitops is used to serialize tasks during RPC binding, just like it now
works for making RPC transport connections.
