nfs: simplify and guarantee owner uniqueness.
I have evidence of an Linux NFS client getting NFS4ERR_BAD_SEQID to a v4.0 LOCK request to a Linux server (which had fixed the problem with RELEASE_LOCKOWNER bug fixed). The LOCK request presented a "new" lock owner so there are two seq ids in the request: that for the open file, and that for the new lock. Given the context I am confident that the new lock owner was reported to have the wrong seqid. As lock owner identifiers are reused, the server must still have a lock owner active which the client thinks is no longer active. I wasn't able to determine a root-cause but the simplest fix seems to be to ensure lock owners are always unique much as open owners are (thanks to a time stamp). The easiest way to ensure uniqueness is with a 64bit counter for each server. That will never cycle (if updated once a nanosecond the last 584 years. A single NFS server would not handle open/lock requests nearly that fast, and a Linux node is unlikely to have an uptime approaching that). This patch removes the 2 ida and instead uses a per-server atomic64_t to provide uniqueness. Note that the lock owner already encodes the id as 64 bits even though it is a 32bit value. So changing to a 64bit value does not change the encoding of the lock owner. The open owner encoding is now 4 bytes larger.
