Subject: [ 018/101] LOCKD: fix races in nsm_client_get

3.6-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@...app.com>

commit a4ee8d978e47e79d536226dccb48991f70091168 upstream.

Commit e9406db20fecbfcab646bad157b4cfdc7cadddfb (lockd: per-net
NSM client creation and destruction helpers introduced) contains
a nasty race on initialisation of the per-net NSM client because
it doesn't check whether or not the client is set after grabbing
the nsm_create_mutex.
