Subject: [PATCH 4.9 39/66] NFSv4.1: Fix a deadlock in layoutget

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

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

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

commit 8ac092519ad91931c96d306c4bfae2c6587c325f upstream.

We cannot call nfs4_handle_exception() without first ensuring that the
slot has been freed. If not, we end up deadlocking with the process
waiting for recovery to complete, and recovery waiting for the slot
table to drain.

Fixes: 2e80dbe7ac51 ("NFSv4.1: Close callback races for OPEN, LAYOUTGET...")
