NFS: Introduce NFS_ATTR_FATTR_V4_LOCATIONS
The Linux NFS client must distinguish between referral events (which
it currently supports) and migration events (which it does not yet
support).
In both types of events, an fs_locations array is returned. But upper
layers, not the XDR layer, should make the distinction between a
referral and a migration. There really isn't a way for an XDR decoder
function to distinguish the two, in general.
Slightly adjust the FATTR flags returned by decode_fs_locations()
to set NFS_ATTR_FATTR_V4_LOCATIONS only if a non-empty locations
array was returned from the server. Then have logic in nfs4proc.c
distinguish whether the locations array is for a referral or
something else.
