[PATCH] knfsd: split svc_serv into pools



Split out the list of idle threads and pending sockets from svc_serv into a
new svc_pool structure, and allocate a fixed number (in this patch, 1) of
pools per svc_serv.  The new structure contains a lock which takes over
several of the duties of svc_serv->sv_lock, which is now relegated to
protecting only sv_tempsocks, sv_permsocks, and sv_tmpcnt in svc_serv.

The point is to move the hottest fields out of svc_serv and into svc_pool,
allowing a following patch to arrange for a svc_pool per NUMA node or per CPU.
 This is a major step towards making the NFS server NUMA-friendly.
