Subject: [PATCH 0/2] NFSD: fix races in service per-net resources allocation

After "NFS" (SUNRPC + NFSd actually) containerization work some basic
principles of SUNRPC service initialization and deinitialization has been
changed: now one service can be shared between different network namespaces
and network "resources" can be attached or detached from the running service.
This leads to races, described here:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=904870

and which this small patch set is aimed to solve by using per-cpu rw semphores
to sync per-net resources processing and shutdown.

The following series implements...
