struct svc_serv_ops is about to be removed.

Neil Brown says:
&gt; I suspect svo_module can go as well - I don't think the thread is
&gt; ever the thing that primarily keeps a module active.

A random sample of kthread_create() callers shows sunrpc is the only
one that manages module reference count in this way.

Clean up: svc_shutdown_net() now does nothing but call
svc_close_net(). Replace all external call sites.

svc_close_net() is renamed to be the inverse of svc_xprt_create().

<title>SUNRPC: Remove the .svo_enqueue_xprt method</title>

<content type='text'>
We have never been able to track down and address the underlying
cause of the performance issues with workqueue-based service
support. svo_enqueue_xprt is called multiple times per RPC, so
it adds instruction path length, but always ends up at the same
function: svc_xprt_do_enqueue(). We do not anticipate needing
this flexibility for dynamic nfsd thread management support.

As a micro-optimization, remove .svo_enqueue_xprt because
Spectre/Meltdown makes virtual function calls more costly.

This change essentially reverts commit b9e13cdfac70 ("nfsd/sunrpc:
turn enqueueing a svc_xprt into a svc_serv operation").

Pull signal/exit/ptrace updates from Eric Biederman:
 "This set of changes deletes some dead code, makes a lot of cleanups
  which hopefully make the code easier to follow, and fixes bugs found
  along the way.

  The end-game which I have not yet reached yet is for fatal signals
  that generate coredumps to be short-circuit deliverable from
  complete_signal, for force_siginfo_to_task not to require changing
  userspace configured signal delivery state, and for the ptrace stops
  to always happen in locations where we can guarantee on all
  architectures that the all of the registers are saved and available on
  the stack.

  Removal of profile_task_ext, profile_munmap, and profile_handoff_task
  are the big successes for dead code removal this round.

  A bunch of small bug fixes are included, as most of the issues
  reported were small enough that they would not affect bisection so I
  simply added the fixes and did not fold the fixes into the changes
  they were fixing.

  There was a bug that broke coredumps piped to systemd-coredump. I
  dropped the change that caused that bug and replaced it entirely with
  something much more restrained. Unfortunately that required some
  rebasing.

  Some successes after this set of changes: There are few enough calls
  to do_exit to audit in a reasonable amount of time. The lifetime of
  struct kthread now matches the lifetime of struct task, and the
  pointer to struct kthread is no longer stored in set_child_tid. The
  flag SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP is removed. The field group_exit_task is
  removed. Issues where task-&gt;exit_code was examined with
  signal-&gt;group_exit_code should been examined were fixed.

  There are several loosely related changes included because I am
  cleaning up and if I don't include them they will probably get lost.

  I trimmed back the last set of changes to only the obviously correct

<title>lockd: use svc_set_num_threads() for thread start and stop</title>

svc_set_num_threads() does everything that lockd_start_svc() does, except
set sv_maxconn.  It also (when passed 0) finds the threads and
stops them with kthread_stop().

So move the setting for sv_maxconn, and use svc_set_num_thread()

We now don't need nlmsvc_task.

Now that we use svc_set_num_threads() it makes sense to set svo_module.
This request that the thread exists with module_put_and_exit().
Also fix the documentation for svo_module to make this explicit.

svc_prepare_thread is now only used where it is defined, so it can be
made static.

lockd_create_svc() already does an svc_get() if the service already
exists, so it is more like a "get" than a "create".

So:
 - Move the increment of nlmsvc_users into the function as well
 - rename to lockd_get().

It is now the inverse of lockd_put().

There is some cleanup that is duplicated in lockd_down() and the failure
path of lockd_up().
Factor these out into a new lockd_put() and call it from both places.

lockd_put() does *not* take the mutex - that must be held by the caller.
It decrements nlmsvc_users and if that reaches zero, it cleans up.
