[PATCH RFC] nfsd: new Kconfig option for legacy client tracking

[Jeff Layton <jlayton@kernel.org>]

We've had a number of attempts at different NFSv4 client tracking
methods over the years, but now nfsdcld has emerged as the clear winner
since the others (recoverydir and the usermodehelper upcall) are
problematic.

As a prelude to eventually removing support for these client tracking
methods, add a new Kconfig option that enables them. Mark it deprecated
and make it default to N.

Now that we've really settled on nfsdcld being the way forward for
NFSv4 client tracking, put the legacy methods under a new Kconfig option
that defaults to off.

This should make it easier to eventually deprecate this code and remove
it in the future (maybe in v6.10 or so)?
