NFSv4: Follow a referral

Respond to a moved error on NFS lookup by setting up the referral.
Note: We don't actually follow the referral during lookup/getattr, but
later when we detect fsid mismatch in inode revalidation (similar to the
processing done for cloning submounts). Referrals will have fake attributes
until they are actually followed or traversed.
