[RFC PATCH V4 0/7] nfsd/sunrpc: prepare nfsd to add workqueue mode support

[Shirley Ma <shirley.ma@oracle.com>]

This patchset was originally written by Jeff Layton from adding support for a 
workqueue-based nfsd. I am helping on stability test and performance analysis. 
There are some workloads benefit from global threading mode, some workloads 
benefit from workqueue mode. I am still investigating on how to make workqueue 
mode better to bid global threading mode. I have split the original patchset 
into two parts: one is preparing nfsd to add workqueue support, one is adding 
workqueue mode. This is the first patchset, which doesn't impact nfsd threading 
mode performance based upon my test results. These changes make nfsd threading 
code more clean and easy to add workqueue mode in nfsd/sunrpc later.

sunrpc: add a new svc_serv_ops struct and move sv_shutdown into it
sunrpc: move sv_function into sv_ops
sunrpc: move sv_module parm into sv_ops
sunrpc: turn enqueueing a svc_xprt into a svc_serv operation
sunrpc: abstract out svc_set_num_threads to sv_ops
sunrpc: move pool_mode definitions into svc.h
sunrpc: factor svc_rqst allocation and freeing from sv_nrthreads refcounting
