Subject: [PATCH V2 01/12] kernfs: implement i_generation

From: Shaohua Li <shli@...com>

Set i_generation for kernfs inode. This is required to implement exportfs
operations.

Note, the generation is 32-bit, so it's possible the generation wraps up
and we find stale files. The possiblity is low, since fhandle matches
both inode number and generation. In most fs, the generation is 32-bit.
fhandle only export 32-bit generation for most fs. So unless we have
solid reason, we'd live with the possible conflict.
