Update nfs4_client to add:
  . cl_cs_client_state: courtesy client state
  . cl_cs_lock: spinlock to synchronize access to cl_cs_client_state
  . cl_cs_list: list used by laundromat to process courtesy clients

Modify alloc_client to initialize these fields.

By the way, where is a client returned to the normal (0) state?  That
has to happen at some point.
For 4.1 courtesy client reconnects is detected in nfsd4_sequence,
nfsd4_bind_conn_to_session.
Those are the places where NFSD54_CLIENT_RECONNECTED is set, which isn't
the question I asked.
Why are RECONNECTED clients discarded in so many cases?  (E.g. whenever
a bind_conn_to_session fails).
find_in_sessionid_hashtbl: we discard the courtesy client when it
reconnects and there is error from nfsd4_get_session_locked. This
should be a rare condition so rather than reverting the client
state back to courtesy, it is simpler just to discard it.
That may be a rare situation, but I don't believe the behavior of
discarding the client in this case is correct.

nfsd4_create_session/find_confirmed_client: I think the only time
the courtesy client sends CREATE_SESSION, before sending the SEQUENCE
to reconnect after missing its leases, is when it wants to do clientid
trunking. This should be a rare condition so instead of dealing
with it we just do not allow it and discard the client for now.
We can't wave away incorrect behavior with "but it's rare".  Users with
heavy and/or unusual workloads hit rare conditions.  Clients may change
their behavior over time.  (E.g., trunking may become more common.)

This does not prevent the courtesy client from doing trunking in all
cases. It is only prevent the courtesy client from doing trunking without
first reconnect to the server.

I think this behavior is the same as if the server does not support courtesy
client; the server can expire the courtesy anytime it wants. If the
courtesy client reconnected successfully then by the time nfsd4_create_session/
find_confirmed_client is called the client already becomes active
so the server will process the request normally.

Also to handle cases when the courtesy client reconnects after it was in
EXPIRED state, we want to force the client to recover its state starting
with EXCHANGE_ID so we have to return BAD_SESSION on CREATE_SESSION request.
