Makes sense, but could we just get this out of include/linux entirely,
and into fs/nfsd/?

	$ git grep -l '^#include <linux/nfsd/stats.h>'
	fs/nfsd/nfssvc.c
	fs/nfsd/stats.c
	include/linux/nfsd/nfsd.h

So the only user outside of fs/nfsd/ is nfsd.h.  I doubt it really needs
it.  And nfsd.h is included a lot of places it needn't be too:

	$ git grep -l '^#include <linux/nfsd/nfsd.h>'
	arch/parisc/kernel/sys_parisc32.c
	arch/s390/kernel/compat_linux.c
	arch/s390/kernel/compat_linux.h
	arch/sparc64/kernel/sys_sparc32.c

Those includes are unnecessary.

	fs/compat.c

That too, I think.

	fs/lockd/svc4proc.c
	fs/lockd/svcproc.c

Those might need it (though they shouldn't also need stats.h).  Etc.

	fs/nfsctl.c
	fs/nfsd/auth.c
	fs/nfsd/export.c
	fs/nfsd/lockd.c
	fs/nfsd/nfs2acl.c
	fs/nfsd/nfs3acl.c
	fs/nfsd/nfs3proc.c
	fs/nfsd/nfs3xdr.c
	fs/nfsd/nfs4callback.c
	fs/nfsd/nfs4proc.c
	fs/nfsd/nfs4recover.c
	fs/nfsd/nfs4state.c
	fs/nfsd/nfs4xdr.c
	fs/nfsd/nfscache.c
	fs/nfsd/nfsctl.c
	fs/nfsd/nfsfh.c
	fs/nfsd/nfsproc.c
	fs/nfsd/nfssvc.c
	fs/nfsd/nfsxdr.c
	fs/nfsd/stats.c
	fs/nfsd/vfs.c

--b.
