Find a file
NeilBrown f77ce2e570 nfsd: filecache: remove race handling.
The race that this code tries to protect against is not interesting.
The code is problematic as we access the "nf" after we have given our
reference to the lru system.  While that takes 2+ seconds to free
things, it is still poor form.

The only interesting race I can find would be with
nfsd_file_close_inode_sync();
This is the only place that really doesn't want the file to stay on the
LRU when unhashed (which is the direct consequence of the race).

However for the race to happen, some other thread must own a reference
to a file and be putting it while nfsd_file_close_inode_sync() is trying
to close all files for an inode.  If this is possible, that other thread
could simply call nfsd_file_put() a little bit later and the result
would be the same: not all files are closed when
nfsd_file_close_inode_sync() completes.

If this was really a problem, we would need to wait in close_inode_sync
for the other references to be dropped.  We probably don't want to do
that.

So it is best to simply remove this code.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
