* Remove smp_lock.h from files which don't need it (including some headers!)
* Add smp_lock.h to files which do need it
* Make smp_lock.h include conditional in hardirq.h
  It's needed only for one kernel_locked() usage which is under CONFIG_PREEMPT

  This will make hardirq.h inclusion cheaper for every PREEMPT=n config
  (which includes allmodconfig/allyesconfig, BTW)

The 'rq_received' member of 'struct rpc_rqst' is used to track when we
have received a reply to our request.  With v4.1, the backchannel
can now accept callback requests over the existing connection.  Rename
this field to make it clear that it is only used for tracking reply bytes
and not all bytes received on the connection.

For nfs41 callbacks we need an svc_xprt to process requests coming up the
backchannel socket as rpc_rqst's that are transformed into svc_rqst's that
need a rq_xprt to be processed.

The svc_{udp,tcp}_create methods are too heavy for this job as svc_create_socket
creates an actual socket to listen on while for nfs41 we're "reusing" the
fore channel's socket.

Implement the NFSv4.1 backchannel service.  Invokes the common callback
processing logic svc_process_common() to authenticate the call and
dispatch the appropriate NFSv4.1 XDR decoder and operation procedure.
It then invokes bc_send() to send the reply over the same connection.
bc_send() is implemented in a separate patch.

At this time there is no slot validation or reply cache handling.

Adds rpc_run_bc_task() which is called by the NFS callback service to
process backchannel requests.  It performs similar work to rpc_run_task()
though "schedules" the backchannel task to be executed starting at the
call_trasmit state in the RPC state machine.

It also introduces some miscellaneous updates to the argument validation,
call_transmit, and transport cleanup functions to take into account
that there are now forechannel and backchannel tasks.

Backchannel requests do not carry an RPC message structure, since the
payload has already been XDR encoded using the existing NFSv4 callback
mechanism.

Introduce a new transmit state for the client to reply on to backchannel
requests.  This new state simply reserves the transport and issues the
reply.  In case of a connection related error, disconnects the transport and
drops the reply.  It requires the forechannel to re-establish the connection
and the server to retransmit the request, as stated in NFSv4.1 section
2.9.2 "Client and Server Transport Behavior".

Note: There is no need to loop attempting to reserve the transport.  If EAGAIN
is returned by xprt_prepare_transmit(), return with tk_status == 0,
setting tk_action to call_bc_transmit.  rpc_execute() will invoke it again
after the task is taken off the sleep queue.

<id>fb7a0b9addbdbbb13b7bc02abf55ee524ea19ce1</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch introduces support to setup the callback xprt on the client side.
It allocates/ destroys the preallocated memory structures used to process
backchannel requests.

At setup time, xprt_setup_backchannel() is invoked to allocate one or
more rpc_rqst structures and substructures.  This ensures that they
are available when an RPC callback arrives.  The rpc_rqst structures
are maintained in a linked list attached to the rpc_xprt structure.
We keep track of the number of allocations so that they can be correctly
removed when the channel is destroyed.

When an RPC callback arrives, xprt_alloc_bc_request() is invoked to
obtain a preallocated rpc_rqst structure.  An rpc_xprt structure is
returned, and its RPC_BC_PREALLOC_IN_USE bit is set in
rpc_xprt-&gt;bc_flags.  The structure is removed from the the list
since it is now in use, and it will be later added back when its
user is done with it.

After the RPC callback replies, the rpc_rqst structure is returned
by invoking xprt_free_bc_request().  This clears the
RPC_BC_PREALLOC_IN_USE bit and adds it back to the list, allowing it
to be reused by a subsequent RPC callback request.

To be consistent with the reception of RPC messages, the backchannel requests
should be placed into the 'struct rpc_rqst' rq_rcv_buf, which is then in turn
copied to the 'struct rpc_rqst' rq_private_buf.

more rpc_rqst structures and substructures.  This ensures that they
are available when an RPC callback arrives.  The rpc_rqst structures
are maintained in a linked list attached to the rpc_xprt structure.
We keep track of the number of allocations so that they can be correctly
removed when the channel is destroyed.

When an RPC callback arrives, xprt_alloc_bc_request() is invoked to
obtain a preallocated rpc_rqst structure.  An rpc_xprt structure is
returned, and its RPC_BC_PREALLOC_IN_USE bit is set in
rpc_xprt-&gt;bc_flags.  The structure is removed from the the list
since it is now in use, and it will be later added back when its
user is done with it.

After the RPC callback replies, the rpc_rqst structure is returned
by invoking xprt_free_bc_request().  This clears the
RPC_BC_PREALLOC_IN_USE bit and adds it back to the list, allowing it
to be reused by a subsequent RPC callback request.

To be consistent with the reception of RPC messages, the backchannel requests
should be placed into the 'struct rpc_rqst' rq_rcv_buf, which is then in turn
copied to the 'struct rpc_rqst' rq_private_buf.
