nfsd.8: Document ways to minimize Copy operation times

Browse Source 
For NFSv4.2, a Copy operation can take a long time to complete.
If there is a concurrent ExchangeID or DelegReturn operation
which requires the exclusive lock on all NFSv4 state, this can
result in a stall of the nfsd server.

This patch documents ways to avoid this problem.

This is a content change.

If your storage is on ZFS without block cloning enabled,
setting the
.Xr sysctl 8
.Va vfs.zfs.dmu_offset_next_sync
to 0 can often avoid this problem.
It is also possible to set the
.Xr sysctl 8
.Va vfs.nfsd.maxcopyrange
to 10-100 megabytes to try and reduce Copy operation times.
As a last resort, setting
.Xr sysctl 8
.Va vfs.nfsd.maxcopyrange
to 0 disables the Copy operation.
