nfsd: replace rp_mutex to avoid deadlock in move_to_close_lru()
move_to_close_lru() waits for sc_count to become zero while holding
rp_mutex. This can deadlock if another thread holds a reference and is
waiting for rp_mutex.
By the time we get to move_to_close_lru() the openowner is unhashed and
cannot be found any more. So code waiting for the mutex can safely
retry the lookup if move_to_close_lru() has started.
So change rp_mutex to an atomic_t with three states:
RP_UNLOCK - state is still hashed, not locked for reply
RP_LOCKED - state is still hashed, is locked for reply
RP_UNHASHED - state is not hashed, no code can get a lock.
Use wait_var_event() to wait for either a lock, or for the owner to be
unhashed. In the latter case, retry the lookup.
