The cases in this patch:

	- devtmpfs, mqueue: not exportable

	- cachefiles, ecryptfs: probably nothing prevents exporting the
	  underlying filesystem, but it sounds nuts.  If somebody
	  actually runs into this case, we'll error out--the kernel
	  won't crash, the delegation won't be violated--and they can
	  come to us and try to make the case why this is a problem.

	- nfsd: handles delegation breaks in its own way (by returning a
	  DELAY error to the client and leaving it to the client to
	  retry).
