pnfs: fix pnfs lock inversion of i_lock and cl_lock

The pnfs code was using throughout the lock order i_lock, cl_lock.
This conflicts with the nfs delegation code.  Rework the pnfs code
to avoid taking both locks simultaneously.

Currently the code takes the double lock to add/remove the layout to a
nfs_client list, while atomically checking that the list of lsegs is
empty.  To avoid this, we rely on existing serializations.  When a
layout is initialized with lseg count equal zero, LAYOUTGET's
openstateid serialization is in effect, making it safe to assume it
stays zero unless we change it.  And once a layout's lseg count drops
to zero, it is set as DESTROYED and so will stay at zero.
