Make the global nfsdstats structure per-cpu. Fields in this struct are
incremented one times per READ and WRITE NFS call, and also in various
other more obscure situations. When the workload is doing READs to
every nfsd on every CPU, it's a very hot and bouncy cacheline indeed.
Tests on a 16 CPU Altix A4700 with 2 10gige Myricom cards, configured
separately (no bonding). Workload is 640 client threads doing directory
traverals with random small reads, from server RAM.

In this case, the throughput did not actually improve until the next
problem was solved (patch knfsd-make-svc-authenticate-scale-2).
