[PATCH 001 of 8] knfsd: Add nfs-export support to tmpfs

[NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>]

We need to encode a decode the 'file' part of a handle.
We simply use the inode number and generation number to
construct the filehandle.
The generation number is the time when the file was created.
As inode numbers cycle through the full 32 bits before being
reused, there is no real chance of the same inum being allocated
to different files in the same second so this is suitably unique.
Using time-of-day rather than e.g. jiffies makes it less likely that
the same filehandle can be created after a reboot.

In order to be able to decode a filehandle we need to be able to
lookup by inum, which means that the inode needs to be added to the
inode hash table (tmpfs doesn't currently hash inodes as there is never
a need to lookup by inum).  To avoid overhead when not exporting,
we only hash an inode when it is first exported.  This requires a lock
to ensure it isn't hashed twice.

This code is separate from the patch posted in June06 from Atal
Shargorodsky which provided the same functionality, but does borrow
slightly from it.
