nfsd: fix fcache_disposal UAF by inlining dispose state into nfsd_net

nfsd_file_dispose_list_delayed() defers fput() to nfsd service threads
via a per-net freeme queue, preventing the shrinker and GC worker from
bearing the cost of closing files (see ffb4025961).  However, the
queue lives in a separately-allocated struct nfsd_fcache_disposal that
is freed by nfsd_free_fcache_disposal_net() during per-net teardown.
The global shrinker, laundrette, and fsnotify callbacks can still be
inside nfsd_file_dispose_list_delayed() dereferencing that pointer,
causing a use-after-free.

Inline the spinlock and freeme list directly into struct nfsd_net (as
fcache_dispose_lock and fcache_dispose_list), eliminating the separately
allocated struct nfsd_fcache_disposal entirely.  These fields now have
the same lifetime as the net namespace itself, so there is no dangling
pointer to chase.

nfsd_file_cache_start_net() now just initializes the inline fields and
cannot fail due to allocation.  nfsd_file_cache_shutdown_net() drains
the inline list directly instead of freeing a separate struct.  The
alloc/free helpers are removed.
