If nothing else, what's going to happen after mount/umount/mount with failing nfs4blocklayout_register_sb()? AFAICS, we'll have stale pointer to dentry sitting in nn->bl_device_pipe->dentry, and call rpc_unlink() on it while cleaning up after the failing mount. I don't think that's all there is to it, but it does smell like a bug.
