knfsd: let nfsd manage timing out its own leases
Currently there's a race that can cause an oops in generic_setlease. (In detail: nfsd, when it removes a lease, does so by calling vfs_setlease() with F_UNLCK and a pointer to the fl_flock field, which in turn points to nfsd's existing lease; but the first thing the setlease code does is call time_out_leases(). If the lease happens to already be beyond the lease break time, that will free the lease and (in nfsd's release_private callback) set fl_flock to NULL, leading to a NULL deference soon after in vfs_setlease().) There are probably other things to fix here too, but it seems inherently racy to allow either locks.c or nfsd to time out this lease. Instead just set the fl_break_time to 0 (preventing locks.c from ever timing out this lock) and leave it up to nfsd's laundromat thread to deal with it. Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu>
