nfsd: don't call locks_release_private() twice concurrently
It is possible for free_blocked_lock() to be called twice concurrently, once from nfsd4_lock() and once from nfsd4_release_lockowner() calling remove_blocked_locks(). This is why a kref was added. It is perfectly safe for locks_delete_block() and kref_put() to be called in parallel as they use locking or atomicity respectively as protection. However locks_release_private() has no locking. It is safe for it to be called twice sequentially, but not concurrently. This patch moves that call from free_blocked_lock() where it could race with itself, to free_nbl() where it cannot. This will slightly delay the freeing of private info or release of the owner - but not by much. It is arguably more natural for this freeing to happen in free_nbl() where the structure itself is freed. This bug was found by code inspection - it has not been seen in practice.
