mm/vmemmap optimization: split hugetlb and devdax vmemmap optimization

Arm disabled hugetlb vmemmap optimization [1] because hugetlb vmemmap
optimization includes an update of both the permissions (writeable to
read-only) and the output address (pfn) of the vmemmap ptes. That is not
supported without unmapping of pte(marking it invalid) by some
architectures.

With DAX vmemmap optimization we don't require such pte updates and
architectures can enable DAX vmemmap optimization while having hugetlb
vmemmap optimization disabled. Hence split DAX optimization support into
a different config.

s390, loongarch and riscv don't have devdax support. So the DAX config is
not enabled for them. With this change, arm64 should be able to select
DAX optimization

mm: make MEMFD_CREATE into a selectable config option

The memfd_create() syscall, enabled by CONFIG_MEMFD_CREATE, is useful on
its own even when not required by CONFIG_TMPFS or CONFIG_HUGETLBFS.

Split it into its own proper bool option that can be enabled by users.

Move that option into mm/ where the code itself also lies. Also add
"select" statements to CONFIG_TMPFS and CONFIG_HUGETLBFS so they
automatically enable CONFIG_MEMFD_CREATE as before.

tmpfs,xattr: enable limited user extended attributes

Enable "user." extended attributes on tmpfs, limiting them by tracking
the space they occupy, and deducting that space from the limited ispace
(unless tmpfs mounted with nr_inodes=0 to leave that ispace unlimited).

tmpfs inodes and simple xattrs are both unswappable, and have to be in
lowmem on a 32-bit highmem kernel: so the ispace limit is appropriate
for xattrs, without any need for a further mount option.

Add simple_xattr_space() to give approximate but deterministic estimate
of the space taken up by each xattr: with simple_xattrs_free() outputting
the space freed if required (but kernfs and even some tmpfs usages do not
require that, so don't waste time on strlen'ing if not needed).

Security and trusted xattrs were already supported: for consistency and
simplicity, account them from the same pool; though there's a small risk
that a tmpfs with enough space before would now be considered too small.

When extended attributes are used, "df -i" does show more IUsed and less
IFree than can be explained by the inodes: document that (manpage later).

xfstests tests/generic which were not run on tmpfs before but now pass:
020 037 062 070 077 097 103 117 337 377 454 486 523 533 611 618 728

Add a new config option that controls building the buffer_head code, and

For the block device nodes and alternative iomap based buffered I/O path
is provided when buffer_head support is not enabled, and iomap needs a
a small tweak to define the IOMAP_F_BUFFER_HEAD flag to 0 to not call
into the buffer_head code when it doesn't exist.

Otherwise this is just Kconfig and ifdef changes.

NFSD: Remove CONFIG_NFSD_V3

Eventually support for NFSv2 in the Linux NFS server is to be
deprecated and then removed.

However, NFSv2 is the "always supported" version that is available
as soon as CONFIG_NFSD is set. Before NFSv2 support can be removed,
we need to choose a different "always supported" version.

This patch removes CONFIG_NFSD_V3 so that NFSv3 is always supported,
as NFSv2 is today. When NFSv2 support is removed, NFSv3 will become
the only "always supported" NFS version.

The defconfigs still need to be updated to remove CONFIG_NFSD_V3=y.

mm: remove the extra ZONE_DEVICE struct page refcount

ZONE_DEVICE struct pages have an extra reference count that complicates
the code for put_page() and several places in the kernel that need to
check the reference count to see that a page is not being used (gup,
compaction, migration, etc.). Clean up the code so the reference count
doesn't need to be treated specially for ZONE_DEVICE pages.

Note that this excludes the special idle page wakeup for fsdax pages,
which still happens at refcount 1. This is a separate issue and will
be sorted out later. Given that only fsdax pages require the
notifiacation when the refcount hits 1 now, the PAGEMAP_OPS Kconfig
symbol can go away and be replaced with a FS_DAX check for this hook
in the put_page fastpath.

Based on an earlier patch from Ralph Campbell <rcampbell@nvidia.com>.

As we move to common code between client and server, we have

e.g. "smbfs" for the client (we already have "ksmbd" for the
kernel server, and "smbd" for the user space Samba daemon).
So to be more consistent in the naming of common code between
client and server and reduce the risk of merge conflicts as
more common code is added - rename "cifs_common" to
"smbfs_common" (in future releases we also will rename
the fs/cifs directory to fs/smbfs)

fs: remove mandatory file locking support

We added CONFIG_MANDATORY_FILE_LOCKING in 2015, and soon after turned it
off in Fedora and RHEL8. Several other distros have followed suit.

I've heard of one problem in all that time: Someone migrated from an
older distro that supported "-o mand" to one that didn't, and the host
had a fstab entry with "mand" in it which broke on reboot. They didn't
actually _use_ mandatory locking so they just removed the mount option
and moved on.

This patch rips out mandatory locking support wholesale from the kernel,
along with the Kconfig option and the Documentation file. It also
changes the mount code to ignore the "mand" mount option instead of
erroring out, and to throw a big, ugly warning.
