This should be fixed by this series of four commits that are already in
mainline:
bcd7f78d078ff6197715c1ed070c92aca57ec12c..ee296d7c5709440f8abd36b5b65c6
b3e388538d9
The basic problem is that when the struct file is being torn down,
file_inode(file) may already return NULL. So we need to be able to pass
in the inode directly from the reference held by the nfs_open_context.
Are those patches reasonable to pull in?
