I'll apply this series to nfsd-next. There are a handful of
changes I'd like to make (with permission):

- Squash 4/4 into 2/4
- Apply 1/4 last instead of first
- Add Jeff's Reviewed-by at least to 1/4 and 2/4

3/4 gives us a platform for measuring recalls triggered by
GETATTR. It might not make any difference if we add a new
counter for that -- but a tracepoint could also do it without
altering the kernel/userspace API. I'm still pondering it.
