This is a warning added by 168e4b39d1afb79a7e3ea6c3bb246b4c82c6bdb9
"SUNRPC: add WARN_ON_ONCE for potential deadlock", pointing out that
nfsd is calling shutdown_client from a workqueue, which is a problem
because shutdown_client has to wait on rpc tasks that run on a
workqueue.

I don't believe there's any circular dependency among the workqueues
(we're calling shutdown_client from callback_wq, not rpciod_workqueue),
but 168e4b39d1afb.. says that we could get a deadlock if both are
running on the same kworker thread.

I'm not sure what to do about that.

This warning is unrelated, and is probably just carelessness on my part:
I couldn't see why this condition would happen, and I stuck the warning
in there without looking much harder.  Probably we should just revert
79f77bf9a4e3dd5ead006b8f17e7c4ff07d8374e "nfsd: warn on odd reply state
in nfsd_vfs_read" while I go stare at the code.
