[PATCH 29/41] staging: lustre: ptlrpc: Move NRS structures out of lustre_net.h

[James Simmons <jsimmons@infradead.org>]

From: Chris Horn <hornc@cray.com>

NRS specific structures are not needed in the rest of the PtlRPC code.
It is more appropriate for these structures to be defined in a
separate header. This commit creates a lustre_nrs.h header for the
generic NRS structures, and policy-specific headers for the various
NRS policies.

+ * - In objects that act as prime-level scheduling entities in different NRS

+ *   client NID. On a policy which performs round robin scheduling across

+ *   performed by the policy.
+ *
+ * NRS resources share a parent-child relationship, in which resources embedded
+ * in policy instances are the parent entities, with all scheduling entities
+ * a policy schedules across being the children, thus forming a simple resource
+ * hierarchy. This hierarchy may be extended with one or more levels in the
+ * future if the ability to have more than one primary policy is added.
+ *
+ * Upon request initialization, references to the then active NRS policies are
