Subject: nfs inode generation problem

hi.

in export_iget, generation==0 means "ignore generation".
but it isn't safe because inode generation can be 0 actually.
(esp., on filesystems like xfs, which uses per-inode initially-0 generations.)

to fix it,
i think that we should have an additional flag for export_iget and get_dentry.
(ie. "ignore_generation" flag)
