[PATCH] knfsd: Break the hard linkage from svc_expkey to svc_export
Current svc_expkey holds a pointer to the svc_export structure, so updates to that structure have to be in-place, which is a wart on the whole cache infrastruct. So we break that linkage and just do a second lookup. If this became a performance issue, it would be possible to put a direct link back in which was only used conditionally. i.e. when an object is replaced in the cache, we set a flag in the old object. When dereferencing the link from svc_expkey, if the flag is set, we drop the reference and do a fresh lookup.
