ceph: make members in struct ceph_mds_request_args_ext a union
[ Upstream commit 3af5ae22030cb59fab4fba35f5a2b62f47e14df9 ]
In ceph mainline it will allow to set the btime in the setattr request
and just add a 'btime' member in the union 'ceph_mds_request_args' and
then bump up the header version to 4. That means the total size of union
'ceph_mds_request_args' will increase sizeof(struct ceph_timespec) bytes,
but in kclient it will increase the sizeof(setattr_ext) bytes for each
request.
Since the MDS will always depend on the header's vesion and front_len
members to decode the 'ceph_mds_request_head' struct, at the same time
kclient hasn't supported the 'btime' feature yet in setattr request,
so it's safe to do this change here.
This will save 48 bytes memories for each request.
