nfs_localio: use cmpxchg() to install new nfs_file_localio

Rather than using nfs_uuid.lock to protect installing
a new ro_file or rw_file, change to use cmpxchg().
Removing the file already uses xchg() so this improves symmetry
and also makes the code a little simpler.

Also remove the optimisation of not taking the lock, and not removing
the nfs_file_localio from the linked list, when both ->ro_file and
->rw_file are already NULL.  Given that ->nfs_uuid was not NULL, it is
extremely unlikely that neither ->ro_file or ->rw_file is NULL so
this optimisation can be of little value and it complicates
understanding of the code - why can the list_del_init() be skipped?

Finally, move the assignment of NULL to ->nfs_uuid until after
the last action on the nfs_file_localio (the list_del_init).  As soon as
this is NULL a racing nfs_close_local_fh() can bypass all the locking
and go on to free the nfs_file_localio, so we must be certain to be
finished with it first.
