Add server support for bypassing NFS for localhost reads, writes, and commits. This is only useful when both the client and server are running on the same host. If nfsd_open_local_fh() fails then the NFS client will both retry and fallback to normal network-based read, write and commit operations if localio is no longer supported. Care is taken to ensure the same NFS security mechanisms are used (authentication, etc) regardless of whether localio or regular NFS access is used. The auth_domain established as part of the traditional NFS client access to the NFS server is also used for localio. Store auth_domain for localio in nfsd_uuid_t and transfer it to the client if it is local to the server. Relative to containers, localio gives the client access to the network namespace the server has. This is required to allow the client to access the server's per-namespace nfsd_net struct. This commit also introduces the use of NFSD's percpu_ref to interlock nfsd_destroy_serv and nfsd_open_local_fh, to ensure nn->nfsd_serv is not destroyed while in use by nfsd_open_local_fh and other LOCALIO client code. CONFIG_NFS_LOCALIO enables NFS server support for LOCALIO.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
