We want to transition to a new gssd upcall which is text-based and more
easily extensible.
To simplify upgrades, as well as testing and debugging, it will help if
we can upgrade gssd (to a version which understands the new upcall)
without having to choose at boot (or module-load) time whether we want
the new or the old upcall.
We will do this by providing two different pipes: one named, as
currently, after the mechanism (normally "krb5"), and supporting the
old upcall. One named "gssd" and supporting the new upcall version.
We allow gssd to indicate which version it supports by its choice of
which pipe to open.
As we have no interest in supporting *simultaneous* use of both
versions, we'll forbid opening both pipes at the same time.
So, add a new pipe_open callback to the rpc_pipefs api, which the gss
code can use to track which pipes have been open, and to refuse opens of
incompatible pipes.
We only need this to be called on the first open of a given pipe.

Currently, the downcall queue is tied to the struct gss_auth, which means
that different RPCSEC_GSS pseudoflavours must use different upcall pipes.
Add a list to struct rpc_inode that can be used instead.

Separate delayable work items from non-delayable work items be splitting them
into a separate structure (delayed_work), which incorporates a work_struct and
the timer_list removed from work_struct.
The work_struct struct is huge, and this limits it's usefulness. On a 64-bit
architecture it's nearly 100 bytes in size. This reduces that by half for the
non-delayable type of event.

Make it take a dentry argument instead of a path

(cherry picked from 648d4116eb2509f010f7f34704a650150309b3e7 commit)
Currently rpc_mkdir/rpc_rmdir and rpc_mkpipe/mk_unlink have an API that's
a little unfortunate. They take a path relative to the rpc_pipefs root and
thus need to perform a full lookup. If you look at debugfs or usbfs they
always store the dentry for directories they created and thus can pass in
a dentry + single pathname component pair into their equivalents of the
above functions.
And in fact rpc_pipefs actually stores a dentry for all but one component so
this change not only simplifies the core rpc_pipe code but also the callers.
Unfortuntately this code path is only used by the NFS4 idmapper and
AUTH_GSSAPI for which I don't have a test enviroment. Could someone give
it a spin? It's the last bit needed before we can rework the
lookup_hash API

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!
