NFS: copy symlinks into page cache before sending NFS SYMLINK request 

Currently the NFS client does not cache symlinks it creates.  They get
cached only when the NFS client reads them back from the server.

Copy the symlink into the page cache before sending it.

Test plan:
Connectathon, all NFS versions.

/*
* To create a symbolic link, most file systems instantiate a new inode,
* add a page to it containing the path, then write it out to the disk
* using prepare_write/commit_write.
*
* Unfortunately the NFS client can't create the in-core inode first
* because it needs a file handle to create an in-core inode (see
* fs/nfs/inode.c:nfs_fhget). We only have a file handle *after* the
* symlink request has completed on the server.
*
* So instead we allocate a raw page, copy the symname into it, then do
* the SYMLINK request with the page as the buffer. If it succeeds, we
* now have a new file handle and can instantiate an in-core NFS inode
* and move the raw page into its mapping.
