Subject: [PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 139/180] nfsd: fix nsfd startup race triggering BUG_ON

3.16.7-ckt11 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Giuseppe Cantavenera <giuseppe.cantavenera.ext@...ia.com>

commit bb7ffbf29e76b89a86ca4c3ee0d4690641f2f772 upstream.

nfsd triggered a BUG_ON in net_generic(...) when rpc_pipefs_event(...)
in fs/nfsd/nfs4recover.c was called before assigning ntfsd_net_id.
The following was observed on a MIPS 32-core processor:
kernel: Call Trace:

Fixed this behaviour by calling register_pernet_subsys(&nfsd_net_ops) before
registering rpc_pipefs_event(...) with the notifier chain.
