[PATCH] Fix suspicious RCU usage in nfs_idmap_get_key.
From: Artem Savkov
Date: Tue Oct 04 2016 - 09:38:05 EST
nfs_idmap_get_key doesn't hold rkey->sem when calling user_key_payload
resulting in a "suspicious RCU usage" lockdep splat. It does, however hold
rcu_read_lock, so it either needs to use unprotected rcu_dereference, or take
rkey->sem instead of rcu_read_lock.
