[PATCH 3.13.y-ckt 048/103] LOCKD: Fix a race when initialising nlmsvc_timeout

[Kamal Mostafa]

3.13.11-ckt16 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 06bed7d18c2c07b3e3eeadf4bd357f6e806618cc upstream.

This commit fixes a race whereby nlmclnt_init() first starts the lockd
daemon, and then calls nlm_bind_host() with the expectation that
nlmsvc_timeout has already been initialised. Unfortunately, there is no
no synchronisation between lockd() and lockd_up() to guarantee that this
is the case.

Fix is to move the initialisation of nlmsvc_timeout into lockd_create_svc

Fixes: 9a1b6bf818e74 ("LOCKD: Don't call utsname()->nodename...")
