nilfs2: operations for the_nilfs core object

This adds functions on the_nilfs object, which keeps shared resources and
states among a read/write mount and snapshots mounts going individually.

the_nilfs is allocated per block device; it is created when user first
mount a snapshot or a read/write mount on the device, then it is reused
for successive mounts.  It will be freed when all mount instances on the
device are detached.
