Subject: [PATCH] nfsd4: fix a deadlock on state owner replay mutex

from: Huang Le <huangle1@...com>

In move_to_close_lru(), which only be called on path of nfsd4 CLOSE op,
the code could wait for its stid ref count drop to 2 while holding its
state owner replay mutex.  However, the other stid ref holder (normally
a parallel CLOSE op) that move_to_close_lru() is waiting for might be
accquiring the same replay mutex.

This patch fix the issue by clearing the replay owner before waiting, and
assign it back after then.

I guess we should cc this patch to stable tree, since a malicious client
could craft parallel CLOSE ops to put all nfsd tasks in D state shortly.
