Upon receiving a request for async copy, create a new kthread. If we
get asynchronous request, make sure to copy the needed arguments/state
from the stack before starting the copy. Then start the thread and reply
back to the client indicating copy is asynchronous.
nfsd_copy_file_range() will copy in a loop over the total number of
bytes is needed to copy. In case a failure happens in the middle, we
ignore the error and return how much we copied so far. Once done
creating a workitem for the callback workqueue and send CB_OFFLOAD with
the results.
The lifetime of the copy stateid is bound to the vfs copy. This way we
don't need to keep the nfsd_net structure for the callback. We could
keep it around longer so that an OFFLOAD_STATUS that came late would
still get results, but clients should be able to deal without that.
We handle OFFLOAD_CANCEL by sending a signal to the copy thread and
calling kthread_stop.
A client should cancel any ongoing copies before calling DESTROY_CLIENT;
if not, we return a CLIENT_BUSY error.
If the client is destroyed for some other reason (lease expiration, or
server shutdown), we must clean up any ongoing copies ourselves.
