sunrpc: introduce the concept of a minimum number of threads per pool

Add a new pool->sp_nrthrmin field to track the minimum number of threads
in a pool. Add min_threads parameters to both svc_set_num_threads() and
svc_set_pool_threads(). If min_threads is non-zero and less than the
max, svc_set_num_threads() will ensure that the number of running
threads is between the min and the max.

If the min is 0 or greater than the max, then it is ignored, and the
maximum number of threads will be started, and never spun down.

For now, the min_threads is always 0, but a later patch will pass the
proper value through from nfsd.
