in vfs_detach(). vfs_done may free global filesystem's resources,
typically those allocated in respective filesystem's init function.
Needed so those filesystems which went in via LKM have a chance to
clean after themselves before unloading. This fixes random panics
when LKM for filesystem using pools was loaded and unloaded several
times.
For each leaf filesystem, add appropriate vfs_done routine.
the directory cache as translation table. See nfs_subs.c for comments.
Makes the code a bit more complex to look at than I would have liked,
but doesn't affect the speed of the default behavior.
* Optimize caching behavior a bit when buffers are invalidated.
* Save some RPCs in readdir operations by not bothering if there is
a small amount left to do to fill the buffer. It'll be done in the
next RPC with a larger chunk anyway. Wastes a bit of buffer space
but is faster.
* Make n_vattr an allocated vattr struct. This avoids nfsnode bloat,
and is friendlier to the malloc routines.
directory cookie that may be thrown back at us from userspace, up
to a size limit. Fixes double entry problem.
* Split flags for internal and external use in the NFS mount structure.
* Fix some buffer structure fields that weren're being used correctly.
* Fix missing directory cache inval call in nfs_open.
* Limit on NFS_DIRBLKSIZ no longer needed, bumped to the more reasonable
value of 8k.
* Various other things that I forget, all related to the dir caching
somehow, though.

Because NFS doesn't implement vnode locking, nfs_inactive() doesn't really
have the vnode locked and hence it can't reliably access the vnode after
it performs a blocking operation. We remove one blocking call and push
the no-op VOP_UNLOCK higher so that we don't access the vnode after we
delete the sillyrename file. This should prevent crashes we've seen in
which the vnode turned into a UFS vnode and caused a panic in ufs_unlock()
when we tried to 'unlock' it.

Kirk's change to not corrupt files after a delete.

Krik's change to solve the paradox that vclean() calls nfs_inactive()
with VXLOCK set on the vnode, and nfs_inactive() was calling vget()
to get a reference on the vnode, which in turn hung on VXLOCK.
Nfs_inactive() now checks v_usecount to make sure that the vnode
is not coming from vclean() before it does a vget().
(1) it's unnecessary
(2) it causes machines to hang (yup!)
(3) it'd be gone in a few days anyway (it'd been yanked out
of 4.4-Lite by macklem long ago)
It was only there because macklem couldn't originally decide if things
should be locked, or not...
