knfsd: remove unreported filehandle stats counters

knfsd: remove unreported filehandle stats counters

The file nfsfh.c contains two static variables nfsd_nr_verified and
nfsd_nr_put.  These are counters which are incremented as a side
effect of the fh_verify() fh_compose() and fh_put() operations,
i.e. at least twice per NFS call for any non-trivial workload.
Needless to say this makes the cacheline that contains them (and any
other innocent victims) a very hot contention point indeed under high
call-rate workloads on multiprocessor NFS server.  It also turns out
that these counters are not used anywhere.  They're not reported to
userspace, they're not used in logic, they're not even exported from
the object file (let alone the module).  All they do is waste CPU time.

So this patch removes them.

Tests on a 16 CPU Altix A4700 with 2 10gige Myricom cards, configured
separately (no bonding).  Workload is 640 client threads doing directory
traverals with random small reads, from server RAM.

  ^^^^

Here the function nfsd_choose_ofc() reads a global variable
which by accident happened to be located in the same cacheline as
nfsd_nr_verified.
