Doh. Googline around--looks like we want something like this.

I've got a couple other bugfixes to collect and then I'll try to get
this to Linus by the end of the week.

nfsd4: BUG_ON(!is_spin_locked()) no good on UP kernels

Most frequent symptom was a BUG triggering in expire_client, with the
server locking up shortly thereafter.

Introduced by 508dc6e110c6dbdc0bbe84298ccfe22de7538486 "nfsd41:
free_session/free_client must be called under the client_lock".
