Hi all,

this series cleanups the exportfs support for block-style layouts that
provide direct block device access.  This is preparation for supporting
exportfs of more than a single device per file system.

Changes since v1:
 - consity struct exportfs_block_ops
 - fix spelling

Changes since the multi-device export series:
 - check for NULL bops in nfsd4_setup_layout_type
 - clearly document why we are ignoring loca_time_modify

RFC 8881 Section 18.42 makes it clear that the client provided timestamp
is a "may" condition, and clients that want to force a specific timestamp
should send a separate SETATTR in the compound.

Since commit b82f92d5dd1a ("fs: have setattr_copy handle multigrain
timestamps appropriately") the ia_mtime value is ignored by file
systems using multi-grain timestamps like XFS, which is the only
file system supporting blocklayout exports right now, so make that
explicit in NFSD as well.

The support to grant layouts for direct block device access works
at a very different layer than the rest of exports.  Split the methods
for it into a separate struct, and move that into a separate header
to better split things out.  The pointer to the new operation vector
is kept in export_operations to avoid bloating the super_block.

The only thing ->commit_blocks really needs is the new size, with a magic
-1 placeholder 0 for "do not change the size" because it only ever
extends the size.

Currently NFSD hard codes checking support for block-style layouts.
Lift the checks into a file system-helper and provide a exportfs-level
helper to implement the typical checks.

This prepares for supporting block layout export of multiple devices
per file system.

Hm, I generally prefer infrastructure to go through the VFS tree.
You can get a stable branch ofc.

Communicating this earlier would be helpful.  If we switch to a new
tree base we're going to miss this merge window.
