lockd: fix race in nlm_release()
The sm_count is decremented to zero but left on the nsm_handles list. So in the space between decrementing sm_count and acquiring nsm_mutex, it is possible for another task to find this nsm_handle, increment the use count and then enter nsm_release itself. Thus there's nothing to prevent the nsm being freed before we acquire nsm_mutex here. Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu>
