svn commit: r245613 - head/sys/fs/nfsserver

Author: delphij

New Revision: 245613
URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/245613

Log:
  Make it possible to force async at server side on new NFS server, similar
  to the old one's nfs.nfsrv.async.
  
  Please note that by enabling this option (default is disabled), the system
  could potentionally have silent data corruption if the server crashes
  before write is committed to non-volatile storage, as the client side have
  no way to tell if the data is already written.
