Problem:
Directory vxattr like ceph.dir.pin* may not be propagated to the
client as frequently to keep them updated. This creates vxattr
availability problems.
Also, the dir and file layout xattr is not reported for dirs and
files when a layout is not specifically set for the dir or file.

Solution:
Adds new getvxattr op to fetch ceph.dir.pin*, ceph.dir.layout.json
and ceph.file.layout.json vxattrs.
If the entire layout for a dir or a file is being set, then it is
expected that the layout be set in standard JSON format. Individual
field value retrieval is not wrapped in JSON. The JSON format also
applies while setting the vxattr if the entire layout is being set in
one go.
ceph.(dir|file).layout.(pool_name|pool_id) are also supported as new
vxattrs to help disambiguate the pool name from pool_id when a digit
sequence is used as a pool name instead of an alphabetic sequence.

As a temporary measure, setting a vxattr can also be done in the old
format. The old format will be deprecated in the future.

I don't think we can end up with a NULL sessions pointer w/o failing
register_session(). You can probably drop this check.

I think you just want to continue here if there is no session for a
particular index. This will make this return false if the client just
happens to not have a session for this MDS at this time.

I think this is not quite the right spot to do this.

This is occurring after the client has already issued a GETATTR to the
MDS to fetch the xattr blob for the inode. However, we know that no
ceph.* xattrs will be in that blob, so that call is of no value.

I think you basically want logic like:

1/ test that the name starts with "ceph."
2/ if it does, then call ceph_match_vxattr
3/ if that doesn't match anything, then call ceph_do_getvxattr to ask
the MDS about it

The auth mds for an inode will usually be indicated by ci->i_auth_cap,
if we have one. The catch is that that pointer can change (or become
NULL) at any time: if we get a cap revoke or import/export from the MDS,
for instance, or just because we need to free up some memory. You'll
need to hold the i_ceph_lock while you check it (but that's better than
taking the mdsc->mutex anyway).

Just to be clear, any check like this will (technically) be racy by
nature. The auth MDS could change to something else entirely after you
check it but before __choose_mds occurs, or even after you send the
request. OTOH, we don't really have a great story for handling
heterogeneous MDS versions like that. We mostly expect people to keep
the cluster daemons in lockstep version-wise.

So, I don't think we need to be too discerning with this logic. Check
the auth mds first and if there isn't one, then just scan all of the
available MDSs.

If we really wanted to fix this correctly, we'd probably want to the
check to occur during __choose_mds. It'd be fairly easy to add a
r_vet_session function pointer to struct ceph_mds_request and have
__choose_mds call it.
