sunrpc: fix up the special handling of sv_nrpools == 1



Only pooled services take a reference to the svc_pool_map. The sunrpc
code has always used the sv_nrpools value to detect whether the service
is pooled.

The problem there is that nfsd is a pooled service, but when it's
running in "global" pool_mode, it doesn't take a reference to the pool
map because it has a sv_nrpools value of 1. This means that we have
two separate codepaths for starting the server, depending on whether
it's pooled or not.

Fix this by adding a new flag to the svc_serv, that indicates whether
the serv is pooled. With this we can have the nfsd service
unconditionally take a reference, regardless of pool_mode.

Note that this is a behavior change for
/sys/module/sunrpc/parameters/pool_mode. Usually this file does not
allow you to change the pool-mode while there are nfsd threads running,
but if the pool-mode is "global" it's allowed. My assumption is that
this is a bug, since it probably should never have worked this way.

This patch changes the behavior such that you get back EBUSY even
when nfsd is running in global mode. I think this is more reasonable
behavior, and given that most people set this today using the module
parameter, it's doubtful anyone will notice.
