Subject: [PATCH 0/4] exportfs: add flag to allow marking export operations as only supporting file handles

Hey,

Some filesystems like kernfs and pidfs support file handles as a
convenience to enable the use of name_to_handle_at(2) and
open_by_handle_at(2) but don't want to and cannot be reliably exported.
Add a flag that allows them to mark their export operations accordingly
and make NFS check for its presence.

@Amir, I'll reorder the patches such that this series comes prior to the
pidfs file handle series. Doing it that way will mean that there's never
a state where pidfs supports file handles while also being exportable.
It's probably not a big deal but it's definitely cleaner. It also means
the last patch in this series to mark pidfs as non-exportable can be
dropped. Instead pidfs export operations will be marked as
non-exportable in the patch that they are added in.

Thanks!
Christian
