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.
