Introduce the infrastructure for managing nfs4_file objects in an
rhashtable. This infrastructure will be used by the next patch.

Every time I see this line a groan a little bit.  Probably I'm groaning
at rhashtable - you shouldn't need to have to worry about these sorts of
details when using an API...  but I agree that avoiding churn is likely
a good idea.

Where did 256 come from?  Would PAGE_SIZE/sizeof(void*) make more sense
(though that is 512).
How much churn is too much?  The default is 4 and we grow at >75% and
shrink at <30%, so at 4 entries the table would resize to 8, and that 2
entries it  would shrink back.  That does sound like churn.
If we choose 8, then at 7 we grow to 16 and at 4 we go back to 8.
If we choose 16, then at 13 we grow to 32 and at 9 we go back to 16.

If we choose 64, then at 49 we grow to 128 and at 39 we go back to 64.

The margin seems rather narrow.  May 30% is too high - 15% might be a
lot better.  But changing that might be difficult.

So I don't have a good recommendation, but I don't like magic numbers.
Maybe PAGE_SIZE/sizeof(void*) ??

But either way
