sunrpc: keep a count of swapfiles associated with the rpc_clnt

Jerome reported seeing a warning pop when working with a swapfile on
NFS. The nfs_swap_activate can end up calling sk_set_memalloc while
holding the rcu_read_lock and that function can sleep.

To fix that, we need to take a reference to the xprt while holding the
rcu_read_lock, set the socket up for swapping and then drop that
reference. But, xprt_put is not exported and having NFS deal with the
underlying xprt is a bit of layering violation anyway.

Fix this by adding a set of activate/deactivate functions that take a
rpc_clnt pointer instead of an rpc_xprt, and have nfs_swap_activate and
nfs_swap_deactivate call those.

Also, add a per-rpc_clnt atomic counter to keep track of the number of
active swapfiles associated with it. When the counter does a 0->1
transition, we enable swapping on the xprt, when we do a 1->0 transition
we disable swapping on it.

This also allows us to be a bit more selective with the RPC_TASK_SWAPPER
flag. If non-swapper and swapper clnts are sharing a xprt, then we only
need to flag the tasks from the swapper clnt with that flag.
