This simplifies much of the error handling during mount. It also means
that we have the mount args before client creation, and we can initialize
based on those options.

Previously we were flushing dirty caps by passing an extra flag
when traversing the delayed caps list. Besides being a bit ugly,
that can also miss caps that are dirty but didn't result in a
cap requeue: notably, mark_caps_dirty().
Separate the flushing into a separate helper, and traverse the
cap_dirty list.
This also brings i_dirty_item in line with i_dirty_caps: we are
on the list IFF caps != 0. We carry an inode ref IFF
dirty_caps|flushing_caps != 0.
Lose the unused return value from __ceph_mark_caps_dirty().

The Ceph metadata servers control client access to inode metadata and
file data by issuing capabilities, granting clients permission to read
and/or write both inode field and file data to OSDs (storage nodes).
Each capability consists of a set of bits indicating which operations
are allowed.
If the client holds a *_SHARED cap, the client has a coherent value
that can be safely read from the cached inode.
In the case of a *_EXCL (exclusive) or FILE_WR capabilities, the client
is allowed to change inode attributes (e.g., file size, mtime), note
its dirty state in the ceph_cap, and asynchronously flush that
metadata change to the MDS.
In the event of a conflicting operation (perhaps by another client),
the MDS will revoke the conflicting client capabilities.
In order for a client to cache an inode, it must hold a capability
with at least one MDS server. When inodes are released, release
notifications are batched and periodically sent en masse to the MDS
cluster to release server state.
