pnfs: change layout state seqlock to a spinlock

This prepares for future changes, where the layout state needs
to change atomically with several other variables.  In particular,
it will need to know if lo->segs is empty, as we test that instead
of manipulating the NFS_LAYOUT_STATEID_SET bit.  Moreover, the
layoutstateid is not really a read-mostly structure, as it is
written almost as often as it is read.

The behavior of pnfs_get_layout_stateid is also slightly changed, so that
it no longer changes the stateid.  Its name is changed to +pnfs_choose_layoutget_stateid.
