"Server trunking" is a fancy named for a multi-homed NFS server.
Trunking might occur if a client sends NFS requests for a single
workload to multiple network interfaces on the same server. There
are some implications for NFSv4 state management that make it useful
for a client to know if a single NFSv4 server instance is
multi-homed. (Note this is only a consideration for NFSv4, not for
legacy versions of NFS, which are stateless).
If a client cares about server trunking, no NFSv4 operations can
proceed until that client determines who it is talking to. Thus
server IP trunking discovery must be done when the client first
encounters an unfamiliar server IP address.
The nfs_get_client() function walks the nfs_client_list and matches
on server IP address. The outcome of that walk tells us immediately
if we have an unfamiliar server IP address. It invokes
nfs_init_client() in this case. Thus, nfs4_init_client() is a good
spot to perform trunking discovery.
Discovery requires a client to establish a fresh client ID, so our
client will now send SETCLIENTID or EXCHANGE_ID as the first NFS
operation after a successful ping, rather than waiting for an
application to perform an operation that requires NFSv4 state.
The exact process for detecting trunking is different for NFSv4.0 and
NFSv4.1, so a minorversion-specific init_client callout method is
introduced.
CLID_INUSE recovery is important for the trunking discovery process.
CLID_INUSE is a sign the server recognizes the client's nfs_client_id4
id string, but the client is using the wrong principal this time for
the SETCLIENTID operation. The SETCLIENTID must be retried with a
series of different principals until one works, and then the rest of
trunking discovery can proceed.

v4:
1) Callback transport creation routine selection by version simlified.
This new function in now called before nfs_minorversion_callback_svc_setup()).
Also few small changes:
1) current network namespace in nfs_callback_up() was replaced by transport net.
2) svc_shutdown_net() was moved prior to callback usage counter decrement
(because in case of per-net data allocation faulure svc_shutdown_net() have to
be skipped).

Any pointer that was allocated through nfs_alloc_client() needs to be
freed via a call to nfs_free_client().

v2 and v4 don't use it, so I create two new nfs_rpc_ops functions to
initialize the ACL client only when we are using v3.

This patch adds in the code to track multiple versions of the NFS
protocol. I created default structures for v2, v3 and v4 so that each
version can continue to work while I convert them into kernel modules.
I also removed the const parameter from the rpc_version array so that I
can change it at runtime.

These functions are only needed by NFS v4, so they can be moved into a
v4 specific file.

These functions are specific to NFS v4 and can be moved to nfs4client.c
to keep them out of the generic client.
