ceph: add 'lazyio' mount option to kclient

Browse source 
Add a 'lazyio' mount option to the kernel Ceph client that enables
LazyIO globally for all regular file opens on a mount. This is the
kclient equivalent of the 'client_force_lazyio=true' config option
in the ceph-fuse userspace client.

When 'lazyio' is specified, CEPH_FILE_MODE_LAZY is automatically
added to every regular file's fmode at open time in ceph_open() and
ceph_atomic_open(), causing the I/O paths to request
CEPH_CAP_FILE_LAZYIO from the MDS. This permits buffered I/O via
the page cache even when multiple clients have the file open for
write — beneficial for HPC workloads that can tolerate relaxed
cache coherency.

The mount option is exposed as 'lazyio' / 'nolazyio' via the VFS
fsparam_flag_no mechanism and supports remount.
