Pull Ceph updates for 3.4-rc1 from Sage Weil:
 "Alex has been busy.  There are a range of rbd and libceph cleanups,
  especially surrounding device setup and teardown, and a few critical
  fixes in that code.  There are more cleanups in the messenger code,
  virtual xattrs, a fix for CRC calculation/checks, and lots of other
  miscellaneous stuff.

  There's a patch from Amon Ott to make inos behave a bit better on
  32-bit boxes, some decode check fixes from Xi Wang, and network
  throttling fix from Jim Schutt, and a couple RBD fixes from Josh
  Durgin.

  No new functionality, just a lot of cleanup and bug fixing."

Many ceph-related Boolean options offer the ability to both enable
and disable a feature.  For all those that don't offer this, add
a new option so that they do.

Note that ceph_show_options()--which reports mount options currently
in effect--only reports the option if it is different from the
default value.

ceph_parse_options() takes the address of a pointer as an argument
and uses it to return the address of an allocated structure if
successful.  With this interface is not evident at call sites that
the pointer is always initialized.  Change the interface to return
the address instead (or a pointer-coded error code) to make the
validity of the returned pointer obvious.

<title>ceph: avoid repeatedly computing the size of constant vxattr names</title>

All names defined in the directory and file virtual extended
attribute tables are constant, and the size of each is known at
compile time.  So there's no need to compute their length every
time any file's attribute is listed.

Record the length of each string and use it when needed to determine
the space need to represent them.  In addition, compute the
aggregate size of strings in each table just once at initialization
time.

<content type='text'>
Enable/disable use of the dentry dir 'complete' flag via a mount option.
This lets the admin control whether ceph uses the dcache to satisfy
negative lookups or readdir when it has the entire directory contents in
its cache.

This is purely a performance optimization; correctness is guaranteed
whether it is enabled or not.

<title>ceph: always initialize the dentry in open_root_dentry()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d46cfba5363a163851dc768f717f34185527a472</id>
<content type='text'>
When open_root_dentry() gets a dentry via d_obtain_alias() it does
not get initialized.  If the dentry obtained came from the cache,
this is OK.  But if not, the result is an improperly initialized
dentry.

To fix this, call ceph_init_dentry() regardless of which path
produced the dentry.  That function returns immediately for a dentry
that is already initialized, it is safe to use either way.

(Credit to Sage, who suggested this fix.)
