gfapi: redesign the public interface for upcall consumers
The glfs_callback_arg and glfs_callback_inode_arg were allocated by gfapi, and expected to be free()'d by the application. However it is not reasonable to expect that applications use the same memory allocator to as the compiled libgfapi.so. For instance, it is possible that gfapi uses glibc malloc/free, and an application like NFS-Ganesha the versions from jemalloc. Mismatching of the malloc() and free() functions causes segmentation faults at best. In order to prevent problems like this in the future, the API for applications that consume upcalls has been remodeled. Any of the structures that gfapi allocates, should be free'd with glfs_free(). The members of the structures can not be accessed directly anymore, each has its own function to access now. Correcting the naming of the functions, structures and constants is a continuation of commit 2775dc64101ed37c8d9809bf9852dbf0746ee2b6. These new improvements not only have correct prefixes for the functions and structures, the naming also reflects more to the upcall framework and does not use "callback" anymore.

Hence there is a little change that drops the handling of GF_UPCALL_RECALL_LEASE. In addition, this backport contains commit 2775dc6410: > libgfapi/upcall : prepend "glfs_" to callback_arg, callback_inode_arg > Reviewed-on: http://review.gluster.org/14702 Change-Id: I2b8bd5a0a82036d2abea1a217f5e5975a1d4fe93 BUG: 1347715 Signed-off-by: Niels de Vos <ndevos@redhat.com> Reviewed-on: http://review.gluster.org/15602 NetBSD-regression: NetBSD Build System <jenkins@build.gluster.org> Smoke: Gluster Build System <jenkins@build.gluster.org> CentOS-regression: Gluster Build System <jenkins@build.gluster.org> Reviewed-by: Kaushal M <kaushal@redhat.com>
