This is cleanup precursor patch set. It's required for easier further
implementation of network-namespace-aware SUNRPC PipeFS pipes creators.

This patch removes redundant RPC inode references from PipeFS. These places are
actually where pipes operations are performed.

Currenly, inode i_lock is used to provide concurrent access to SUNPRC PipeFS
pipes. It looks redundant, since now other use of inode is present in most of
these places and thus can be easely replaced, which will allow to remove most
of inode references from PipeFS code. This is a first step towards
Currently gss auth holds RPC inode pointer which is now redundant since it
requires only pipes operations which takes private pipe data as an argument.
Thus this code can be cleaned and all references to RPC inode can be replaced
with privtae pipe data references.

RPC pipe upcall doesn't requires only private pipe data. Thus RPC inode
references in this code can be removed.

Generally, pipe data is used only for pipes, and thus allocating space for it
on every RPC inode allocation is redundant. This patch splits private SUNRPC
PipeFS pipe data and inode, makes pipe data allocated only for pipe inodes.
This patch is also is a next step towards to to removing PipeFS inod
This patch is a final step towards to removing PipeFS inode references from
kernel code other than PipeFS itself. It makes all kernel SUNRPC PipeFS users
depends on pipe private data, which state depend on their specific operations,
etc.
This patch completes SUNRPC PipeFS preparations and allows to
