nfs_localio: simplify interface to nfsd for getting nfsd_file
The nfsd_localio_operations structure contains nfsd_file_get() to get a
reference to an nfsd_file. This is only used in one place, where
nfsd_open_local_fh() is also used.
This patch combines the two, calling nfsd_open_local_fh() passing a
pointer to where the nfsd_file pointer might be stored. If there is a
pointer there an nfsd_file_get() can get a reference, that reference is
returned. If not a new nfsd_file is acquired, stored at the pointer,
and returned. When we store a reference we also increase the refcount
on the net, as that refcount is decrements when we clear the stored
pointer.
We now get an extra reference *before* storing the new nfsd_file at the
given location. This avoids possible races with the nfsd_file being
freed before the final reference can be taken.
This patch moves the rcu_dereference() needed after fetching from
ro_file or rw_file into the nfsd code where the 'struct nfs_file' is
fully defined. This avoids an error reported by older versions of gcc
such as gcc-8 which complain about rcu_dereference() use in contexts
where the structure (which will supposedly be accessed) is not fully
defined.
