A service created with svc_create_pooled() can be given a linked list of
programs and all of these will be served.

Using a linked list makes it cumbersome when there are several programs
that can be optionally selected with CONFIG settings.

After this patch is applied, API consumers must use only
svc_create_pooled() when creating an RPC service that listens for more
than one RPC program.

<title>sunrpc: allow svc threads to fail initialisation cleanly</title>

<content type='text'>
If an svc thread needs to perform some initialisation that might fail,
it has no good way to handle the failure.

Before the thread can exit it must call svc_exit_thread(), but that
requires the service mutex to be held.  The thread cannot simply take
the mutex as that could deadlock if there is a concurrent attempt to
shut down all threads (which is unlikely, but not impossible).

nfsd currently call svc_exit_thread() unprotected in the unlikely event
that unshare_fs_struct() fails.

We can clean this up by introducing svc_thread_init_status() by which an
svc thread can report whether initialisation has succeeded.  If it has,
it continues normally into the action loop.  If it has not,
svc_thread_init_status() immediately aborts the thread.
svc_start_kthread() waits for either of these to happen, and calls
svc_exit_thread() (under the mutex) if the thread aborted.

sp_nrthreads is only ever accessed under the service mutex
  nlmsvc_mutex nfs_callback_mutex nfsd_mutex
so these is no need for it to be an atomic_t.

The fact that all code using it is single-threaded means that we can
simplify svc_pool_victim and remove the temporary elevation of
sp_nrthreads.

Various functions are only used within the sunrpc module, and several
are only use in the one file.  So clean up:

These are marked static, and any EXPORT is removed.
  svc_rcpb_setup()
  svc_rqst_alloc()
  svc_rqst_free()  - also moved before first use
  svc_rpcbind_set_version()
  svc_drop() - also moved to svc.c

These are now not EXPORTed, but are not static.
  svc_authenticate()
  svc_sock_update_bufs()

Allow the pool_mode setting code to be called from internal callers
so we can call it from a new netlink op. Add a new svc_pool_map_get
function to return the current setting. Change the existing module
parameter handling to use the new interfaces under the hood.

<title>sunrpc: fix up the special handling of sv_nrpools == 1</title>

Only pooled services take a reference to the svc_pool_map. The sunrpc
code has always used the sv_nrpools value to detect whether the service
is pooled.

The problem there is that nfsd is a pooled service, but when it's
running in "global" pool_mode, it doesn't take a reference to the pool
map because it has a sv_nrpools value of 1. This means that we have
two separate codepaths for starting the server, depending on whether
it's pooled or not.

Fix this by adding a new flag to the svc_serv, that indicates whether
the serv is pooled. With this we can have the nfsd service
unconditionally take a reference, regardless of pool_mode.

Note that this is a behavior change for
/sys/module/sunrpc/parameters/pool_mode. Usually this file does not
allow you to change the pool-mode while there are nfsd threads running,
but if the pool-mode is "global" it's allowed. My assumption is that
this is a bug, since it probably should never have worked this way.

This patch changes the behavior such that you get back EBUSY even
when nfsd is running in global mode. I think this is more reasonable
behavior, and given that most people set this today using the module
parameter, it's doubtful anyone will notice.

Since only one service actually reports the rpc stats there's not much
of a reason to have a pointer to it in the svc_program struct.  Adjust
the svc_create_pooled function to take the sv_stats as an argument and
pass the struct through there as desired instead of getting it from the
svc_program-&gt;pg_stats.

sv_refcnt is no longer useful.
lockd and nfs-cb only ever have the svc active when there are a non-zero
number of threads, so sv_refcnt mirrors sv_nrthreads.

nfsd also keeps the svc active between when a socket is added and when
the first thread is started, but we don't really need a refcount for
that.  We can simply not destroy the svc while there are any permanent
sockets attached.

So remove sv_refcnt and the get/put functions.
Instead of a final call to svc_put(), call svc_destroy() instead.
This is changed to also store NULL in the passed-in pointer to make it
easier to avoid use-after-free situations.
