[PATCH 0/3] Move NFS filehandle defs into separate include

struct nfs_fh is defined in linux/nfs.h, which also pulls in cred.h,
a pair of sunrpc headers, and uapi/linux/nfs.h. A consumer that
wants nothing but the file handle definition drags all of those
items with it.

Relocate struct nfs_fh and its helpers to a new minimal header:
linux/nfs_fh.h. This series introduces two consumers for this
header. More will follow in subsequent series.

Chuck Lever (3):
  NFS: Add linux/nfs_fh.h
  lockd: Switch linux/nfs.h to linux/nfs_fh.h
  NFSD: Use struct knfsd_fh in struct pnfs_ff_layout
