This is a simple extension to the block layout driver to use SCSI
persistent reservations for access control and fencing, as well as
SCSI VPD pages for device identification.
For this we need to pass the nfs4_client to the proc_getdeviceinfo method
to generate the reservation key, and add a new fence_client method
to allow for fence actions in the layout driver.

Trivial reorganization, no change in behavior. Move some code around,
pull some code out of block layoutcommit that will be useful for the
scsi layout.

Recent Linux clients have started to send GETLAYOUT requests with
minlength less than blocksize.
Servers aren't really allowed to impose this kind of restriction on
layouts; see RFC 5661 section 18.43.3 for details.
This has been observed to cause indefinite hangs on fsx runs on some
clients.

Commit df52699e4f ("NFSv4.1: Don't cache deviceids that have no
notifications") causes the Linux NFS client to stop caching deviceid's
unless a server pretends to support deviceid notifications. While this
behavior is stupid and the language around this area in rfc5661 is a
mess carified by an errata that I submittted, Trond insists on this
behavior. Not caching deviceids degrades block layout performance
massively as a GETDEVICEINFO is fairly expensive.
So add this hack to make the Linux client happy again.

When testing pnfs with nfsd_debug on, nfsd print a negative number
of layout length and foff in nfsd4_block_proc_layoutget as,
"GET: -xxxx:-xxx 2"

Add a small shim between core nfsd and filesystems to translate the
somewhat cumbersome pNFS data structures and semantics to something
more palatable for Linux filesystems.
Thanks to Rick McNeal for the old prototype pNFS blocklayout server
code, which gave a lot of inspiration to this version even if no
code is left from it.
