[PATCH 1/8] nfsd: only call inode_query_iversion in the I_VERSION case

["J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@redhat.com>]

From: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@redhat.com>

inode_query_iversion() can modify i_version.  Depending on the exported
filesystem, that may not be safe.  For example, if you're re-exporting
NFS, NFS stores the server's change attribute in i_version and does not
expect it to be modified locally.  This has been observed causing
unnecssary cache invalidations.

The way a filesystem indicates that it's OK to call
inode_query_iverson() is by setting SB_I_VERSION.

(This may look like a no-op--in the encode_change() case it's just
rearranging some code--but note nfsd4_change_attribute() is also called
from fill_pre_wcc() and fill_post_wcc().)

(Note we could also pull the NFSEXP_V4ROOT case into
nfsd4_change_attribute as well.  That would actually be a no-op, since
pre/post attrs are only used for metadata-modifying operations, and
V4ROOT exports are read-only.  But we might make the change in the
future just for simplicity.)
