The delegated timestamp code seems to be working well enough now that we
want to make it always be built in. In the event that there are problems
though, we still want to be able to disable them for debugging purposes.
Add a switch to debugfs to enable them at runtime.

Now that there is a runtime debugfs switch, eliminate the compile-time
switch and always build in support for delegated timestamps.
Administrators who previously disabled this feature at compile time can
disable it at runtime via:
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/nfsd/delegated_timestamps
