nfsd: drop st_mutex before calling move_to_close_lru()
move_to_close_lru() is currently called with ->st_mutex held. This can lead to a deadlock as move_to_close_lru() waits for sc_count to drop to 2, and some threads holding a reference might be waiting for the mutex. These references will never be dropped so sc_count will never reach 2. There can be no harm in dropping ->st_mutex before move_to_close_lru() because the only place that takes the mutex is nfsd4_lock_ol_stateid(), and it quickly aborts if sc_type is NFS4_CLOSED_STID, which it will be before move_to_close_lru() is called.
