Subject: [PATCH 3.8 36/86] NFS: Fix a delegation callback race

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

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

From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@...marydata.com>

commit 755a48a7a4eb05b9c8424e3017d947b2961a60e0 upstream.

The clean-up in commit 36281caa839f ended up removing a NULL pointer check
that is needed in order to prevent an Oops in
nfs_async_inode_return_delegation().

Reported-by: "Yan, Zheng" <zheng.z.yan@...el.com>
Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/5313E9F6.2020405@intel.com
Fixes: 36281caa839f (NFSv4: Further clean-ups of delegation stateid validation)
