NFSv4 operations manage the lifetime of nfsd_file items they use by means of NFSv4 OPEN and CLOSE. Hence there's no need for them to be garbage collected. Introduce a mechanism to enable garbage collection for nfsd_file items used only by NFSv2/3 callers. Note that the change in nfsd_file_put() ensures that both CLOSE and DELEGRETURN will actually close out and free an nfsd_file on last reference of a non-garbage-collected file.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
