Sorry for the bad comment, Bruce. It takes time even for me to reconstruct the 
problem in my mind.
The reason for this patch was an error path in nfs_svc().

int
nfsd_svc(unsigned short port, int nrservs)
{

<--- snip --->

out_destroy:
         if (nfsd_serv->sv_nrthreads == 1)
                 svc_shutdown_net(nfsd_serv, net); <=== nfsd_serv = NULL
         svc_destroy(nfsd_serv);			  <=== NULL ptr
out:
         mutex_unlock(&nfsd_mutex);
         return error;
}

I'll prepare patch series with proper comments. Thanks.
