    NLM: Convert lockd to use kthreads · d751a7cd
    Jeff Layton authored
    Have lockd_up start lockd using kthread_run. With this change,
    lockd_down now blocks until lockd actually exits, so there's no longer
    need for the waitqueue code at the end of lockd_down. This also means
    that only one lockd can be running at a time which simplifies the code
    within lockd's main loop.
    
    This also adds a check for kthread_should_stop in the main loop of
    nlmsvc_retry_blocked and after that function returns. There's no sense
    continuing to retry blocks if lockd is coming down anyway.
