nfsd tries to return to a client the same sort of filehandle as was used by
the client. This removes some filehandle aliasing issues and means that a
server upgrade followed by a downgrade will not confused clients not restarted
during that time.
However when crossing a mountpoint, the filehandle used for one filesystem
doesn't provide any useful information on what sort of filehandle should be
used on the other, and can provide misleading information. So if the
reference filehandle is on a different filesystem to the one being generated,
ignore it.

There is a perfectly valid situation where fh_update gets called on an already
uptodate filehandle - in nfsd_create_v3 where a CREATE_UNCHECKED finds an
existing file and wants to just set the size.
We could possible optimise out the call in that case, but the only harm
involved is that fh_update prints a warning, so it is easier to remove the
warning.

.. it makes some of the code nicer.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
