[PATCH 0/8] nfsd: reduce the scope of the nfsd_mutex

[Jeff Layton]

Currently much of nfsd's administration is serialized under the global
nfsd_mutex, even though most of the objects managed under it are
segregated by net namespace.

This patchset does a couple of small cleanups and then adds a new
per-net mutex and moves all of the appropriate per-net data structures
to be protected by it instead of the global mutex. The filecache is
given its own mutex, and the global mutex is renamed and left for
managing just the few remaning global objects.

I also had an LLM cook up some selftests so we can hopefully keep all of
this working properly in the future.

Please consider for v7.4.

Thanks,
Jeff
