Use get_user_pages_fast in splice. This reverts some mmap_sem batching
there, however the biggest problem with mmap_sem tends to be hold times
blocking out other threads rather than cacheline bouncing. Further: on
architectures that implement get_user_pages_fast without locks, mmap_sem
can be avoided completely anyway.

Implement export_operations, to allow fuse filesystems to be exported to
NFS. This feature has been in the out-of-tree fuse module, and is widely
used and tested.
It has not been originally merged into mainline, because doing the NFS
export in userspace was thought to be a cleaner and more efficient way of
doing it, than through the kernel.
While that is true, it would also have involved a lot of duplicated effort
at reimplementing NFS exporting (all the different versions of the
protocol). This effort was unfortunately not undertaken by anyone, so we
are left with doing it the easy but less efficient way.
If this feature goes in, the out-of-tree fuse module can go away,
which would have several advantages:
- not having to maintain two versions
- less confusion for users
- no bugs due to kernel API changes
Comment from hch:
- Use the same fh_type values as XFS, since we use the same fh encoding.

Allow filesystem's ->lock() method to call posix_lock_file() instead of
posix_lock_file_wait(), and return FILE_LOCK_DEFERRED. This makes it
possible to implement a such a ->lock() function, that works with the lock

Now the vfs_lock_file() helper can be used, so this is a cleanup as well.

Use a special error value FILE_LOCK_DEFERRED to mean that a locking
operation returned asynchronously. This is returned by
posix_lock_file() for sleeping locks to mean that the lock has been
queued on the block list, and will be woken up when it might become
available and needs to be retried (either fl_lmops->fl_notify() is
called or fl_wait is woken up).
f_op->lock() to mean either the above, or that the filesystem will
call back with fl_lmops->fl_grant() when the result of the locking
operation is known. The filesystem can do this for sleeping as well
as non-sleeping locks.
This is to make sure, that return values of -EAGAIN and -EINPROGRESS by
filesystems are not mistaken to mean an asynchronous locking.
This also makes error handling in fs/locks.c and lockd/svclock.c slightly
cleaner.

Report per-thread I/O statistics in /proc/pid/task/tid/io and aggregate
parent I/O statistics in /proc/pid/io. This approach follows the same
model used to account per-process and per-thread CPU times.
As a practial application, this allows for example to quickly find the top
I/O consumer when a process spawns many child threads that perform the
actual I/O work, because the aggregated I/O statistics can always be found
in /proc/pid/io.
[ Oleg Nesterov points out that we should check that the task is still
alive before we iterate over the threads, but also says that we can do
that fixup on top of this later. - Linus ]

No functional changes yet. But this allows us to do further

oom_kill/ptrace/etc often check "p->mm != NULL" to filter out the
kthreads, this is wrong because of use_mm(). The problem with

patch we can check PF_KTHREAD directly, or use a simple lockless helper:

Introduce the new PF_KTHREAD flag to mark the kernel threads. It is set

daemonize() was changed as well. In that case testing of PF_KTHREAD is
racy, but daemonize() is hopeless anyway.
This flag is cleared in do_execve(), before search_binary_handler().
Probably not the best place, we can do this in exec_mmap() or in
start_thread(), or clear it along with PF_FORKNOEXEC. But I think this
doesn't matter in practice, and if do_execve() fails kthread should die
