Subject: [PATCH] nfsd: validate the nfsd_serv pointer before calling
 svc_wake_up

nfsd_file_dispose_list_delayed can be called from the filecache
laundrette, which is shut down after the nfsd threads are shut down and
the nfsd_serv pointer is cleared. If nn->nfsd_serv is NULL then there
are no threads to wake.

Ensure that the nn->nfsd_serv pointer is non-NULL before calling
svc_wake_up in nfsd_file_dispose_list_delayed. This is safe since the
svc_serv is not freed until after the filecache laundrette is cancelled.

Fixes: ffb402596147 ("nfsd: Don't leave work of closing files to a work queue")
Reported-by: Salvatore Bonaccorso <carnil@...ian.org>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-nfs/7d9f2a8aede4f7ca9935a47e1d405643220d7946.camel@kernel.org/

This is only lightly tested, but I think it will fix the bug that
Salvatore reported.
