nfs: have flexfiles mirror keep creds for both ro and rw layouts
A mirror can be shared between multiple layouts, even with different iomodes. That makes stats gathering simpler, but it causes a problem when we get different creds in READ vs. RW layouts. The current code drops the newer credentials onto the floor when this occurs. That's problematic when you fetch a READ layout first, and then a RW. If the READ layout doesn't have the correct creds to do a write, then writes will fail. We could just overwrite the READ credentials with the RW ones, but that would break the ability for the server to fence the layout for reads if things go awry. We need to be able to revert to the earlier READ creds if the RW layout is returned afterward. The simplest fix is to just keep two sets of creds per mirror. One for READ layouts and one for RW, and then use the appropriate set depending on the iomode of the layout segment. Also fix up some RCU nits that sparse found.
