Subject: [ 47/64] NFSv4: Fix a memory leak in nfs4_discover_server_trunking

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

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

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

commit b193d59a4863ea670872d76dc99231ddeb598625 upstream.

When we assign a new rpc_client to clp->cl_rpcclient, we need to destroy
the old one.
