[PATCH 1/3] SUNRPC: fix races on PipeFS UMOUNT notifications

[Stanislav Kinsbursky]

Below are races, when RPC client can be created without PiepFS dentries

CPU#0					CPU#1
-----------------------------		-----------------------------
rpc_new_client				rpc_fill_super
rpc_setup_pipedir
mutex_lock(&sn->pipefs_sb_lock)
rpc_get_sb_net == NULL
(no per-net PipeFS superblock)
					sn->pipefs_sb = sb;
					notifier_call_chain(MOUNT)
					(client is not in the list)
rpc_register_client
(client without pipes dentries)

To fix this patch:
1) makes PipeFS mount notification call with pipefs_sb_lock being held.
2) releases pipefs_sb_lock on new SUNRPC client creation only after
registration.
