Add a new '-S' option to mountd, which tells it to suspend
execution of the nfsd threads while it is reloading the exports.
This avoids clients from getting intermittent access errors
when the exports are being reloaded non-atomically.
It is not an ideal solution, since requests will back up while
the nfsd threads are suspended. Also, when this option is used,
if mountd crashes while reloading exports, mountd will have to
be restarted to get the nfsd threads to resume execution.
This has been tested by Vincent Hoffman (vince at unsane.co.uk)
and John Hickey (jh at deterlab.net).
The nfse patch offers a more comprehensive solution for this issue.
