When nfsdcld was released, it was quickly deprecated in favor of the
nfsdcltrack usermodehelper, so as to not require another running daemon.
That prevents NFSv4 clients from reclaiming locks from nfsd's running in
containers, since neither nfsdcltrack nor the legacy client tracking
code work in containers.  These patches un-deprecate the use of nfsdcld
for NFSv4 client tracking.

These patches are intended to go alongside some nfs-utils patches that
introduce an enhancement that allows nfsd to "slurp" up the client
records during client tracking initialization and store them internally
in hash table.  This enables nfsd to check whether an NFSv4 client is 
allowed to reclaim without having to do an upcall to nfsdcld.  It also
allows nfsd to decide to end the v4 grace period early if the number of
RECLAIM_COMPLETE operations it has received from "known" clients is
equal to the number of entries in the hash table.  It also allows nfsd
to skip the v4 grace period altogether if it knows there are no clients
allowed to reclaim.

There is a fallback to allow nfsd to continue to work with older nfsdcld
daemons in the event that any are out in the wild (unlikely).
Everything should work fine except nfsd will not be able to exit the
grace period early or skip the grace period altogether.

  nfsd: fix a warning in __cld_pipe_upcall()
  nfsd: make nfs4_client_reclaim use an xdr_netobj instead of a fixed
    char array
  nfsd: un-deprecate nfsdcld
  nfsd: keep a tally of RECLAIM_COMPLETE operations when using nfsdcld
