Subject: [PATCH v2] nfsd: move init of percpu reply_cache_stats counters back to nfsd_init_net

f5f9d4a314da moved the initialization of the reply cache into the nfsd
startup, but didn't account for the stats counters, which can be
accessed before nfsd is ever started. The result can be a NULL pointer
dereference when someone accesses /proc/fs/nfsd/reply_cache_stats while
nfsd is still shut down.

This is easy to trigger on some arches (like aarch64), but on x86_64,
calling this_cpu_ptr(NULL) evidently returns a pointer to the
fixed_percpu_data. That struct looks just enough like a newly
initialized percpu var to allow nfsd_reply_cache_stats_show to access it
without Oopsing.

Move the initialization of the per-net+per-cpu reply-cache counters back
into nfsd_init_net, while leaving the rest of the reply cache
allocations to be done at nfsd startup time. Also, add kerneldoc
comments over some of the confusingly-named functions involved with
per-net initialization and server startup.

Kudos to Eirik who did most of the legwork to track this down.

Fixes: f5f9d4a314da ("nfsd: move reply cache initialization into nfsd startup")
