Subject: [PATCH 3.16 196/305] NFSv4: Don't exit the state manager without
 clearing NFS4CLNT_MANAGER_RUNNING

3.16.63-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

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

commit 21a446cf186570168b7281b154b1993968598aca upstream.

If we exit the NFSv4 state manager due to a umount, then we can end up
leaving the NFS4CLNT_MANAGER_RUNNING flag set. If another mount causes
the nfs4_client to be rereferenced before it is destroyed, then we end
up never being able to recover state.
