We shouldn't have to configure both NFSD_BLOCKLAYOUT and NFSD_SCSILAYOUT if
all we want are SCSI layouts on the server, so define the xfs export

I don't really like exploding config option dependencies into
subsystems that aren't actually related to the config options.
It's confusing enough laready that we've got XFS code dependent on
PNFSD config options without adding more to it. Instead, I'd
suggest this should be resolved in the kconfig files. i.e. make
CONFIG_NFSD_SCSILAYOUT=y select CONFIG_NFSD_BLOCKLAYOUT to resolve
the config dependency at config time.

But the point is to leave CONFIG_NFSD_BLOCKLAYOUT undefined otherwise knfsd
will advertise block layouts to clients -- which we don't want.

Would a third define specific for xfs_export_operations that gets
set in kconfig files work for you?  Something like XFS_PNFS_EXPORT_OPS.
