NFS: Move fs/nfs/iostat.h to include/linux
The fs/nfs/iostat.h header has definitions that were designed to be exposed to user space. Move these definitions under include/linux so user space can use the definitions in applications that read /proc/self/mountstats. Also address a handful of coding style issues called out by checkpatch.pl in fs/nfs/iostat.h.

+ * User-space visible declarations for NFS client per-mount
+ * point statistics
+ *
+ * Copyright (C) 2005, 2006 Chuck Lever <cel@netapp.com>
+ *
+ * NFS client per-mount statistics provide information about the
+ * health of the NFS client and the health of each NFS mount point.
+ * Generally these are not for detailed problem diagnosis, but
+ * simply to indicate that there is a problem.
+ *
+ * These counters are not meant to be human-readable, but are meant
+ * to be integrated into system monitoring tools such as "sar" and
+ * "iostat". As such, the counters are sampled by the tools over
+ * time, and are never zeroed after a file system is mounted.
+ * Moving averages can be computed by the tools by taking the
+ * difference between two instantaneous samples and dividing that
+ * by the time between the samples.

+ * NFS byte counters
+ *
+ * 1. SERVER - the number of payload bytes read from or written
+ * to the server by the NFS client via an NFS READ or WRITE
+ * request.
+ *
+ * 2. NORMAL - the number of bytes read or written by applications
+ * via the read(2) and write(2) system call interfaces.
+ *
+ * 3. DIRECT - the number of bytes read or written from files
+ * opened with the O_DIRECT flag.
+ *
+ * These counters give a view of the data throughput into and out
+ * of the NFS client. Comparing the number of bytes requested by
+ * an application with the number of bytes the client requests from
+ * the server can provide an indication of client efficiency
+ * (per-op, cache hits, etc).
+ *
+ * These counters can also help characterize which access methods
+ * are in use. DIRECT by itself shows whether there is any O_DIRECT
+ * traffic. NORMAL + DIRECT shows how much data is going through
+ * the system call interface. A large amount of SERVER traffic
+ * without much NORMAL or DIRECT traffic shows that applications
+ * are using mapped files.
+ *
+ * NFS page counters
+ *
+ * These count the number of pages read or written via nfs_readpage(),
+ * nfs_readpages(), or their write equivalents.
+ *
+ * NB: When adding new byte counters, please include the measured
+ * units in the name of each byte counter to help users of this
+ * interface determine what exactly is being counted.
