The lock is probably held here, in which case something like the
following would work well without needing the artificial rcu_read_lock()
and rcu_read_unlock():

	cred = rcu_dereference_check(delegation->cred,
				     lockdep_is_held(&delegation->lock));

Same here, though I am not sure whether clp->cl_lock or something in
nfs_inode should be used.

Same here.
