nfsd: add nfsd_file_acquire_local()



nfsd_file_acquire_local() can be used to look up a file by filehandle
without having a struct svc_rqst.  This can be used by NFS LOCALIO to
allow the NFS client to bypass the NFS protocol to directly access a
file provided by the NFS server which is running in the same kernel.

In nfsd_file_do_acquire() care is taken to always use fh_verify() if
rqstp is not NULL (as is the case for non-LOCALIO callers).  Otherwise
the non-LOCALIO callers will not supply the correct and required
arguments to __fh_verify (e.g. gssclient isn't passed).

Introduce fh_verify_local() wrapper around __fh_verify to make it
clear that LOCALIO is intended caller.

Also, use GC for nfsd_file returned by nfsd_file_acquire_local.  GC
offers performance improvements if/when a file is reopened before
launderette cleans it from the filecache's LRU.
