NFSv4.1: turn off pNFS on ds connection failure

If a data server is unavailable, go through MDS. Mark the deviceid containing the data server as a negative cache entry. Do not try to connect to any data server on a deviceid marked as a negative cache entry. Mark any layout that tries to use the marked deviceid as failed. Inodes with a layout marked as fails will not use the layout for I/O, and will not perform any more layoutgets. Inodes without a layout will still do layoutget, but the layout will get marked immediately. Signed-off-by: Andy Adamson <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <[email protected]>
