LU-398 ptlrpc: Add the NRS framework and FIFO policy
The Network Request Scheduler (NRS) allows a user to control the way
in which RPCs are dispatched from PTLRPC services. This can be used to
various effects, most importantly improved fairness across the
cluster, better I/O performance under certain workloads, and allowing
for QoS semantics to be used at the filesystem level. Central to the
operation of NRS are NRS policies, each of which implements handling
of RPCs in a different way, aiming to achieve a particular goal.
This patch adds the core NRS framework and the NRS FIFO policy, which
is a logical wrapper around previous, non-NRS functionality, and is
used as the default policy for handling all types of RPCs.
