cee54fc944 NFSv4: Add functions to order RPC calls
NFSv4 file state-changing functions such as OPEN, CLOSE, LOCK,... are all
 labelled with "sequence identifiers" in order to prevent the server from
 reordering RPC requests, as this could cause its file state to
 become out of sync with the client.

 Currently the NFS client code enforces this ordering locally using
 semaphores to restrict access to structures until the RPC call is done.
 This, of course, only works with synchronous RPC calls, since the
 user process must first grab the semaphore.
 By dropping semaphores, and instead teaching the RPC engine to hold
 the RPC calls until they are ready to be sent, we can extend this
 process to work nicely with asynchronous RPC calls too.

 This patch adds a new list called "rpc_sequence" that defines the order
 of the RPC calls to be sent. We add one such list for each state_owner.
 When an RPC call is ready to be sent, it checks if it is top of the
 rpc_sequence list. If so, it proceeds. If not, it goes back to sleep,
 and loops until it hits top of the list.
 Once the RPC call has completed, it can then bump the sequence id counter,
 and remove itself from the rpc_sequence list, and then wake up the next
 sleeper.

 Note that the state_owner sequence ids and lock_owner sequence ids are
 all indexed to the same rpc_sequence list, so OPEN, LOCK,... requests
 are all ordered w.r.t. each other.

97d312d037 [PATCH] NFSv4: add support for rdattr_error in NFSv4 readdir requests.
Request RDATTR_ERROR as an attribute in readdir to distinguish between a
 directory being within an absent filesystem or one (or more) of its entries.

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!
