[PATCH RFC] nfsd: fix error handling in nfsd_svc

[Jeff Layton]

Once we've set the nfsd_serv pointer in nfsd_svc, we still need to call
nfsd_last_thread if the server fails to be started. Remove the special
casing for nfsd_up_before case since shutting down the per-net stuff is
also handled by nfsd_last_thread.

Finally, add a new special case at the start and skip doing anything if
the service already exists, 0 threads were requested and
serv->sv_nrthreads is 0.

Fixes: 9f28a971ee9f ("nfsd: separate nfsd_last_thread() from nfsd_put()")

Here's what I was thinking for a targeted patch for stable. Testing it
now, but I won't have results until tomorrow.
