151ba7933a Do pass removing some write-only variables from the kernel.
This reduces noise when kernel is compiled by newer GCC versions,
such as one used by external toolchain ports.

fe267a5590 sys: general adoption of SPDX licensing ID tags.
Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.

The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.

No functional change intended.

e9c9826673 Improve FHA locality control for NFS read/write requests.
This change adds two new tunables, allowing to control serialization for
read and write NFS requests separately.  It does not change the default
behavior since there are too many factors to consider, but gives additional
space for further experiments and tuning.

The main motivation for this change is very low write speed in case of ZFS
with sync=always or when NFS clients requests sychronous operation, when
every separate request has to be written/flushed to ZIL, and requests are
processed one at a time.  Setting vfs.nfsd.fha.write=0 in that case allows
to increase ZIL throughput by several times by coalescing writes and cache
flushes.  There is a worry that doing it may increase data fragmentation
on disks, but I suppose it should not happen for pool with SLOG.

b776fb2d67 Introduce new per-thread lock to protect the list of requests.
This allows to slightly simplify svc_run_internal() code: if we processed
all the requests in a queue, then we know that new one will not appear.

f8fb069d47 Move most of NFS file handle affinity code out of the heavily congested
global RPC thread pool lock and protect it with own set of locks.

On synthetic benchmarks this improves peak NFS request rate by 40%.

10f8f58d4a Fix RPC server threads file handle affinity to work better with ZFS.
Instead of taking 8 specific bytes of file handle to identify file during
RPC thread affitinity handling, use trivial hash of the full file handle.
ZFS's struct zfid_short does not have padding field after the length field,
as result, originally picked 8 bytes are loosing lower 16 bits of object ID,
causing many false matches and unneeded requests affinity to same thread.
  This fix substantially improves NFS server latency and scalability in SPEC
NFS benchmark by more flexible use of multiple NFS threads.

ba981145d6 Remove several linear list traversals per request from RPC server code.
Do not insert active ports into pool->sp_active list if they are success-
fully assigned to some thread.  This makes that list include only ports that
really require attention, and so traversal can be reduced to simple taking
the first one.

  Remove idle thread from pool->sp_idlethreads list when assigning some
work (port of requests) to it.  That again makes possible to replace list
traversals with simple taking the first element.

adb974068b Move the NFS FHA (File Handle Affinity) code from sys/nfsserver to
sys/nfs, since it is now shared by the two NFS servers.
