Pull NFS client fixes from Anna Schumaker:
 "This has two stable bugfixes, one to fix a BUG_ON() when
  nfs_commit_inode() is called with no outstanding commit requests and
  another to fix a race in the SUNRPC receive codepath.

  Additionally, there are also fixes for an NFS client deadlock and an
  xprtrdma performance regression.

  Summary:

  Stable bugfixes:
   - NFS: Avoid a BUG_ON() in nfs_commit_inode() by not waiting for a
     commit in the case that there were no commit requests.
   - SUNRPC: Fix a race in the receive code path

  Other fixes:
   - NFS: Fix a deadlock in nfs client initialization
   - xprtrdma: Fix a performance regression for small IOs"

<title>xprtrdma: Spread reply processing over more CPUs</title>

Commit d8f532d20ee4 ("xprtrdma: Invoke rpcrdma_reply_handler
directly from RECV completion") introduced a performance regression
for NFS I/O small enough to not need memory registration. In multi-
threaded benchmarks that generate primarily small I/O requests,
IOPS throughput is reduced by nearly a third. This patch restores
the previous level of throughput.

Because workqueues are typically BOUND (in particular ib_comp_wq,
nfsiod_workqueue, and rpciod_workqueue), NFS/RDMA workloads tend
to aggregate on the CPU that is handling Receive completions.

The usual approach to addressing this problem is to create a QP
and CQ for each CPU, and then schedule transactions on the QP
for the CPU where you want the transaction to complete. The
transaction then does not require an extra context switch during
completion to end up on the same CPU where the transaction was
started.

This approach doesn't work for the Linux NFS/RDMA client because
currently the Linux NFS client does not support multiple connections
per client-server pair, and the RDMA core API does not make it
straightforward for ULPs to determine which CPU is responsible for
handling Receive completions for a CQ.

So for the moment, record the CPU number in the rpcrdma_req before
the transport sends each RPC Call. Then during Receive completion,
queue the RPC completion on that same CPU.

Additionally, move all RPC completion processing to the deferred
handler so that even RPCs with simple small replies complete on
the CPU that sent the corresponding RPC Call.

<title>kernel: make groups_sort calling a responsibility group_info allocators</title>

In testing, we found that nfsd threads may call set_groups in parallel
for the same entry cached in auth.unix.gid, racing in the call of
groups_sort, corrupting the groups for that entry and leading to
permission denials for the client.

This patch:
 - Make groups_sort globally visible.
 - Move the call to groups_sort to the modifiers of group_info
 - Remove the call to groups_sort from set_groups

<title>treewide: Remove TIMER_FUNC_TYPE and TIMER_DATA_TYPE casts</title>

With all callbacks converted, and the timer callback prototype
switched over, the TIMER_FUNC_TYPE cast is no longer needed,
so remove it. Conversion was done with the following scripts:

    perl -pi -e 's|\(TIMER_FUNC_TYPE\)||g' \
        $(git grep TIMER_FUNC_TYPE | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u)

    perl -pi -e 's|\(TIMER_DATA_TYPE\)||g' \
        $(git grep TIMER_DATA_TYPE | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u)

The now unused macros are also dropped from include/linux/timer.h.
