NFSD: add support for NFSv4 write delegation

The NFSv4 server currently supports read delegation using VFS lease
which is implemented using file_lock. 

This patch series add write delegation support for NFSv4 server by:

    . remove the check for F_WRLCK in generic_add_lease to allow
      file_lock to be used for write delegation.  

    . grant write delegation for OPEN with NFS4_SHARE_ACCESS_WRITE
      if there is no conflict with other OPENs.

Write delegation conflict with another OPEN, REMOVE, RENAME and SETATTR
are handled the same as read delegation using notify_change, try_break_deleg.

Changes since v1:

[PATCH 3/4] NFSD: add supports for CB_GETATTR callback
- remove WARN_ON_ONCE from encode_bitmap4
- replace decode_bitmap4 with xdr_stream_decode_uint32_array
- replace xdr_inline_decode and xdr_decode_hyper in decode_cb_getattr
   with xdr_stream_decode_u64. Also remove the un-needed likely().
- modify signature of encode_cb_getattr4args to take pointer to
   nfs4_cb_fattr
- replace decode_attr_length with xdr_stream_decode_u32
- rename decode_cb_getattr to decode_cb_fattr4
- fold the initialization of cb_cinfo and cb_fsize into decode_cb_fattr4
- rename ncf_cb_cinfo to ncf_cb_change to avoid confusion of cindo usage
  in fs/nfsd/nfs4xdr.c
- correct NFS4_dec_cb_getattr_sz and update size description

[PATCH 4/4] NFSD: handle GETATTR conflict with write delegation
- change nfs4_handle_wrdeleg_conflict returns __be32 to fix test robot
- change ncf_cb_cinfo to ncf_cb_change to avoid confusion of cindo usage
  in fs/nfsd/nfs4xdr.c

Changes since v2:

[PATCH 2/4] NFSD: enable support for write delegation
- rename 'deleg' to 'dl_type' in nfs4_set_delegation
- remove 'wdeleg' in nfs4_open_delegation

- drop [PATCH 3/4] NFSD: add supports for CB_GETATTR callback
  and [PATCH 4/4] NFSD: handle GETATTR conflict with write delegation
  for futher clarification of the benefits of these patches

Changes since v3:

- recall write delegation when there is GETATTR from 2nd client
- add trace point to track when write delegation is granted 

Changes since v4:
- squash 4/4 into 2/4
- apply 1/4 last instead of first
- combine nfs4_wrdeleg_filelock and nfs4_handle_wrdeleg_conflict to
  nfsd4_deleg_getattr_conflict and move it to fs/nfsd/nfs4state.c
- check for lock belongs to delegation before proceed and do it
  under the fl_lock
- check and skip FL_LAYOUT file_locks

Dai has identified a few non-trivial issues with the latest set of
NFSD write delegation patches. We've decided to pull these out of
v6.5 and try again during the 6.6 cycle.

Thanks to Dai for his focus on this, and to testers and reviewers.
