It doesn't make sense to calloc (allocate and clear) memory

It may be optimized by the compiler, or have a microscopic
performance improvement.

In some cases, also changed allocation size to be sizeof some
struct or type instead of a pointer - easier to read.
In some cases, removed redundant strlen() calls by saving the result
into a variable.

1. Only done for the straightforward cases. There's room for improvement.
2. Please review carefully, especially for string allocation, with the
terminating NULL string.

Only compile-tested!

.. and allocate memory as much as needed.

xlators/nfs/server/src/mount3.c :

Don't blindly allocate PATH_MAX, but strlen() the string and allocate
appropriately.
Also, align error messges.

<title>feature/gfid-access: Fix nameless lookup on ".gfid"</title>

Problem:
In geo-replication, if the data copied from .snaps
directory to the master, the first set of copy after
uss is enabled doesn't get sync to slave.

Cause:
Enabling uss results in graph switch. So when the
lookup comes on "0x00...0d/gfid1" on new graph,
("0x00...0d' being the gfid of virtual directory
 ".gfid"), it fails as gfid-access xlator doesn't
handle it.

Fix:
Handle nameless lookup on ".gfid" in gfid-access
xlator.

<title>features/gfid-access: Fix entry creation via setxattr for geo-rep</title>

GEO-REP INTEROP WITH SHARD FEATURE

Problem:
    Geo-replication uses setxattr interface of gfid-access
    xlator to create entries and send explicit setattr
    after entry creation to set uid and gid. But between
    entry creation and setattr, the inode would not be
    linked. Hence operation which accesses inode structure
    during setattr by any the below xlator fails.

Solution:
    Linking inode would seem the obvious solution but,
    gfid-access xlator cannot link inodes and maintain
    it as it would result in same inode pointing
    to two different paths one being virtual .gfid/&lt;gfid&gt;
    path and other being actual path.

    The solution is to set uid and gid in frame-&gt;root-&gt;uid
    and frame-&gt;root-&gt;gid respectively from which posix
    extracts and sets.

Instead of including config.h in each file, and have the additional
config.h included from the compiler commandline (-include option).

When a .c file tests for a certain #define, and config.h was not
included, incorrect assumtions were made. With this change, it can not
happen again.

glusterfs relies on Linux uuid implementation, which
API is incompatible with most other systems's uuid. As
a result, libglusterfs has to embed contrib/uuid,
which is the Linux implementation, on non Linux systems.
This implementation is incompatible with systtem's
built in, but the symbols have the same names.

Usually this is not a problem because when we link
with -lglusterfs, libc's symbols are trumped. However
there is a problem when a program not linked with
-lglusterfs will dlopen() glusterfs component. In
such a case, libc's uuid implementation is already
loaded in the calling program, and it will be used
instead of libglusterfs's implementation, causing
crashes.

A possible workaround is to use pre-load libglusterfs
in the calling program (using LD_PRELOAD on NetBSD for
instance), but such a mechanism is not portable, nor
is it flexible. A much better approach is to rename
libglusterfs's uuid_* functions to gf_uuid_* to avoid
any possible conflict. This is what this change attempts.
