There's really nothing much the caller can do if cache unregistration
fails. And indeed, all any caller does in this case is print an error
and continue. So just return void and move the printk's inside
cache_unregister.

Speed up high call-rate workloads by caching the struct ip_map for the peer on
the connected struct svc_sock instead of looking it up in the ip_map cache
hashtable on every call. This helps workloads using AUTH_SYS authentication
over TCP.
Testing was on a 4 CPU 4 NIC Altix using 4 IRIX clients, each with 16
synthetic client threads simulating an rsync (i.e. recursive directory
listing) workload reading from an i386 RH9 install image (161480 regular files
in 10841 directories) on the server. That tree is small enough to fill in the
server's RAM so no disk traffic was involved. This setup gives a sustained
call rate in excess of 60000 calls/sec before being CPU-bound on the server.
Profiling showed strcmp(), called from ip_map_match(), was taking 4.8% of each
CPU, and ip_map_lookup() was taking 2.9%. This patch drops both contribution
into the profile noise.
Note that the above result overstates this value of this patch for most
workloads. The synthetic clients are all using separate IP addresses, so
there are 64 entries in the ip_map cache hash. Because the kernel measured
contained the bug fixed in commit
commit 1f1e030bf7
and was running on 64bit little-endian machine, probably all of those 64
entries were on a single chain, thus increasing the cost of ip_map_lookup().
With a modern kernel you would need more clients to see the same amount of
performance improvement. This patch has helped to scale knfsd to handle a
deployment with 2000 NFS clients.

Cache_fresh is now only used in cache.c, so unexport it.
Part of cache_fresh (setting CACHE_VALID) should really be done under the
lock, while part (calling cache_revisit_request etc) must be done outside the
lock. So we split it up appropriately.

When registering an RPC cache, cache_register() always sets the owner as the
sunrpc module. However, there are RPC caches owned by other modules. With
the incorrect owner setting, the real owning module can be removed potentially
with an open reference to the cache from userspace.
For example, if one were to stop the nfs server and unmount the nfsd
filesystem, the nfsd module could be removed eventhough rpc.idmapd had
references to the idtoname and nametoid caches (i.e.
/proc/net/rpc/nfs4.<cachename>/channel is still open). This resulted in a
system panic on one of our machines when attempting to restart the nfs
services after reloading the nfsd module.
The following patch adds a 'struct module *owner' field in struct
cache_detail. The owner is further assigned to the struct proc_dir_entry
in cache_register() so that the module cannot be unloaded while user-space
daemons have an open reference on the associated file under /proc.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
