[PATCH] knfsd: Break the hard linkage from svc_expkey to svc_export

Current svc_expkey holds a pointer to the svc_export structure, so updates to
that structure have to be in-place, which is a wart on the whole cache
infrastruct.  So we break that linkage and just do a second lookup.

If this became a performance issue, it would be possible to put a direct link
back in which was only used conditionally.  i.e.  when an object is replaced
in the cache, we set a flag in the old object.  When dereferencing the link
from svc_expkey, if the flag is set, we drop the reference and do a fresh
lookup.
