fs: name_to_handle_at() support for "explicit connectable" file handles
nfsd encodes "connectable" file handles for the subtree_check feature, which can be resolved to an open file with a connected path. So far, userspace nfs server could not make use of this functionality. Introduce a new flag AT_HANDLE_CONNECTABLE to name_to_handle_at(2). When used, the encoded file handle is "explicitly connectable". The "explicitly connectable" file handle sets bits in the high 16bit of the handle_type field, so open_by_handle_at(2) will know that it needs to open a file with a connected path. old kernels will now recognize the handle_type with high bits set, so "explicitly connectable" file handles cannot be decoded by open_by_handle_at(2) on old kernels. The flag AT_HANDLE_CONNECTABLE is not allowed together with either AT_HANDLE_FID or AT_EMPTY_PATH.
