...so that we can do the uid/gid mapping outside the asynchronous RPC
context.
This fixes a bug in the current NFSv4 atomic open code where the client
isn't able to determine what the true uid/gid fields of the file are,
(because the asynchronous nature of the OPEN call denies it the ability
to do an upcall) and so fills them with default values, marking the
inode as needing revalidation.
Unfortunately, in some cases, the VFS will do some additional sanity
checks on the file, and may override the server's decision to allow
the open because it sees the wrong owner/group fields.

This patch creates a new idmapper system that uses the request-key function to
place a call into userspace to map user and group ids to names. The old
idmapper was single threaded, which prevented more than one request from running
at a single time. This means that a user would have to wait for an upcall to
finish before accessing a cached result.
The upcall result is stored on a keyring of type id_resolver. See the file
Documentation/filesystems/nfs/idmapper.txt for instructions.

Rename struct nfs4_client to struct nfs_client so that it can become the basis

If someone changes the uid/gid mapping in userland, then we do eventually
want those changes to be propagated to the kernel. Currently the kernel
assumes that it may cache entries forever.
Add an expiration time + garbage collector for idmap 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!
