Subject: [ 014/108] NFSv4: Reduce the footprint of the idmapper

3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@...app.com>

commit d073e9b541e1ac3f52d72c3a153855d9a9ee3278 upstream.

Instead of pre-allocating the storage for all the strings, we can
significantly reduce the size of that table by doing the allocation
when we do the downcall.
