NLM: Introduce external nlm_host set-up and tear-down functions

We would like to remove the per-lock-operation nlm_lookup_host() call from
nlmclnt_proc().

The new architecture pins an nlm_host structure to each NFS client
superblock that has the "lock" mount option set.  The NFS client passes
in the pinned nlm_host structure during each call to nlmclnt_proc().  NFS
client unmount processing "puts" the nlm_host so it can be garbage-
collected later.

This patch introduces externally callable NLM functions that handle
mount-time nlm_host set up and tear-down.
